I used it most when working for Arnold Riley's Barfitters behind the Vic pub Manny Road, if you were coming back to base up Manny Road you could tell if somebody was cutting Asbestolux, there was a huge white cloud around the Vic

About a year ago I had an inspection visit by a surveyor who was acting for HBC in a survey of local housing standards.
(I don't know why I get picked on for official surveys)

As he looked round and measured up, he noticed the bad state of the soffit boards. Most of the paint had flaked off. The bare areas - he said 'that looks like asbestos to me'

Recently Hyndburn Homes have 'repaired' the soffit boards.
They replaced half of the frontage of this block of flats with white PVC, and 'repaired' my half by scraping off flaking paint and repainting with black.
It looks odd - money scrimping in the extreme.

I kept my windows closed while they scraped.

Last year when we had a new TV ariel installation, they said that all existing ariels and wiring would be removed - they haven't done that.
So the 'decorators' painted over all the spaghetti wiring clipped to the soffit boarding - so that when it is eventually removed it will need repainting again.

For not likely read no chance
