So I'm in the top floor flat with the roof above me. now I've read the survey and there is asbestos in the roof. so there's these vents I'll uploads pics or similar to explain but can the asbestos come back through the vents? They're round similar to below with the flexible tube onto them.

Hi, I have just bought a 1970s semi and have found out we asbestos in the artic on the ceiling. I am hoping just to leave it and hopefully at some point get it removed but in the kids bedroom there is a sliding door rail screwed into the ceiling. Can I just remove this? With a screwdriver...

Hi all, Currently renovating 1930s house and started removing some plaster from a bricked up fire place to open in back up. Part way up the plaster changes from what looks like normal multi-finish to what looks like multi-finish with asbestos within it? Was asbestos ever used in wet plaster...

Hi. I recently (2 weeks ago) put some laminate flooring down to replace carpet. Half the area had some thin tiles on the floor, and the other half had just the black adhesive but no tiles. I took up the tiles so everything was level (the mostly popped off intact), swept, and then laid down...

Hi, hoping for some reassurance from someone who is more knowledgeable than me about chimneys/flues etc. Apologies in advance for the essay. We are renovating our 1930s semi and I've just been re-reading our asbestos management survey. It was incredibly stressful buying the house and I think I...

Hi! Is this asbestos or some type of felt?

Can anyone help identify this boarding? it was screwed onto some boxing, which was attached to the ceiling which had pipes and electrical cables in there to feed around the corridor. majority of the boxing looked like mdf, and other wood type things. This was different. It does glissen if the...

Need to know whether it‘s in poor enough condition to be replaced or can be left alone. None of the images of AIB soffit online look like this one so I’m struggling to tell. Any help is great thanks!

Hi, i am unsure what type of ceiling this is. This is in the UK.

Hi all, Hope you are doing well, got some areas in the house and could do with a well trained eye for advice please. Put a foot on the attic a while back and wondering if this could be AIB or similar? Also some Artex type from around 1990? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Appreciate this has been discuss before, but looking to see if there is any updated advice. I bought a 1970’s built 3 bed. Before moving in we had some skimming done and I went to install some LV down lights. When I went in to the loft, under the fibreglass there was Vermiculite. I know...

Hi all we have this wall in our house which seems to be covered in a polystyrene foam. Any idea why it would have been added? Seems to have been picked apart for some time and seems very easy to remove, but no signs of damp so wonder why it would have been added?! Insulation or to cover...

I'm on the war path with the big A in our house at the moment, trying to find as many ACM's as possible and decide whether we need them removing. The previous owners have had the loft boarded, underlayed and carpeted about 12 months before we moved in - delightful, but I'm ripping off the...

Hi all We're planning on pulling up the living room carpet in our old house (late 1800s). I've pulled the corner up by the hearth to see what was beneath and there's some charming blue 50/60s vinyl tiles. They're pretty bashed about and I pulled the corner up from the other side of the room...

In our early 1900s terrace, the ceiling has come away from the joists (changes in temperature have caused the nails to work loose). I had a board up in the bedroom to see the extent of the damage and to be honest, I'm not completely sure what I'm looking at. I'm slightly worried that this board...
