Neighbours asbestos roof.

My neighbour two doors down has being doing some diy and for a few weeks now the pieces of his broken up asbestos garage roof have been strewn across his front garden. Close all windows and doors of your home and cover air vents to prevent asbestos fibres from entering the building. It might be worth discussing this with your neighbour because it is their house garden as much as yours that would be at risk if they use a contractor who isn t competent. The pragmatic answer to this question is simply this.

Just because they are a builder doesn t mean they are competent to deal with asbestos. Inform your neighbours of the proposed work and advise them to close doors and windows while the work is being undertaken. We re all aware of the health risks here. The question to your neighbour should be whether the contractor is competent.

Your neighbour s may have asbestos roofs. The more weathered your roof gets the more risk there is of deterioration which might expose your family and neighbours to harmful asbestos fibres. I m unsure of what to do. We ve heard from some property owners that asbestos roofing makes a property more difficult to sell.
