Asbestos

My heating installation which started on 26th March is not over yet.
Had plumbers, electricians and demolition in 1st 7 days then a plasterer on Wed lastweek but no joiner yet.
I phoned HH on Tuesday to report a heap of plasterboard offcuts and removed air vents at the front door (plasterers rubble etc) and was told to expect removal same day and a joiner this week - neither has happened!
If they were better organised it would all be easier to cope with.

Yeh know what u mean they dont collect their rubbish from outside so quick, the asbestos team are next atm, so waiting for the rubbish collector & then collar him to take what he missed yesterday - a boarding from kitchen that was left outside yesterday, might just leave it on path in hope he collects that & the neighbours

Thats almost what they did when I lived in Burnley. There was a Council owned estate not far from where I lived. It was rather infamous at the time . They emptied the whole house and gutted it. It looked like all they kept was the walls and completely redid the insides again. It would probably be cheaper and be a better job in the long term.

My garage roof if made from asbestos. I have had a builder in recently and asked him whether I should think about a new roof (it is a bit leaky) and he said not to waste my money. He says it is in good condition so it is not dangerous. The leaks he is gonna fix with some special stuff. I have never used my garage cos of the asbestos, but he said it is fine so I might start using it. Although I would feel better without an asbestos roof.
