Asbestos Prison

hi all, im living in a nightmare here almost like a prison, council have found asbestos above my windows and they as you can see have put plastic in front of my windows to front of property and they have these massive boards right along, cant see a thing, were the sky dish is in front of boards thats were my lounge is.
the workers are dressed in white overalls and wearing masks like what you would see in the war days black ones.
heres pics hehe what a way to live

 

Almost happened to us a couple of years ago. We were having a ceiling replaced and if they'd found a certain level of asbestos in the artex (early 80's build when they did things like that) the house would have had to be sealed off and we move out until work was completed. Fortunately the levels of asbestos were low enough not to have to!

 

hi peri and sussexgardener, apparently they have just found it, around 2 weeks ago they put the scaffiolding up to renew the flat roof felt and they must of found it then how they never found it before this i will never know, i really dont know how long we are going to live like this they reckon a few days then after they have finished front of property they are going to do same at back but im not really bothered about the back its the front not being able to see out of lounge and spare room window.

 

Holy mackerel! Can't they relocate you until everything is sorted?

 

hi clueless we posted same time hehe, dont think council will relocate us, my hubby went in council and complained about it all and our sky is off, they cant get it back on cos of the area of the works, they wont let the guys in because of the work they are doing so we are without our sky tv also.
just noticed they have taken the plastic off our windows so i guess they have got rid of the asbestos wood pieces, lets hope havnt got long and all that sheeting can come down, been like this a few days now, noticed it when we got back from holiday, couldnt believe what i saw

 

Chin up Rosa..
robert

 

thanks robert honestly iff its not one thing going on its something else, had a letter also from the gas company they are coming to change my gas meter its on my balcony right near my climbers more moving them now, i will get through it all eventually.main thing is outside we have had letters from police stating cars in our area have been damaged and because of all this up, i cant look out and check my car.

 

Tis true you have had a rough year rosa.
Its time it turned for you and someone else had some bother,
Not that I`m up for it you understand...

 

Rosa, if its any consolation, I think everyone draws the short straw at one point or another, and has a string of bad luck, but as you've had your go, I reckon things will turn out ok pretty soon for you.

 

Rosa, I'm truly sorry to learn that you are being put through the grinder at the moment. My house was rebuilt some years ago, and it was done during November to March. We had to endure one particularly cold January night where the temperatures dropped to minus twenty-six. All there was between us and the outside world, was the thickness of a sheet of plasterboard. It was a living hell that I'll never forget. You take care, it'll all be over soon, I'm sure.

 

robert, clueless and strawman, i guess we all go through some rough things at times lets hope this is the last for me this year hehe, wish they would get these boards down cant see a thing, cant see them working over the weekend, what i cant understand ive lived here over 10 years and they have just found this asbestos now in the fatias above the windows. the company that put the windows in told me the other day its not dangerous yet the tv guys told me it was dangerous, he said we are not allowed up there so the sky will be off till they get these large boards down as its affected the sky tv. keep you all updated of events.

 

One invisable fibre from the wrong type on asbestos is all it takes rosa. So what you are experiancing is in no way other the top..
Just be glad its being sorted now and not when the condition of the asbestos is such that its a real threat.

 

My house contains asbestos and has done so since 1947.

The whole asbestos "thing" is overdone and there is lots of it around.
Its only because of recent hysteria that everyone goes crazy at the sound of the word "asbestos".

Its contained in many buildings and will be for a very long time yet, so as someone who has sawn the stuff and even sanded it in th1970, I'm not that bothered.

The building types tend to be less of a problem, but because its "asbestos" it comes under the regs.

 

hi pete .the question of asbestos,is it not the( blue asbestos) that is the biggest culprit in the asbestos chain. i was told this some time ago,dont know if it is fact.
thanks music.

 

I'm no expert music, but when you take into account how much asbestos is still locked up in buildings, its a joke.
Not may buildings from the 60s and 70s contain no asbestos.

As to corrugated asbestos roofing, it everywhere.

Thats why I say its hysteria.

So called blue asbestos does seem to be the real problem, but as I say, I'm no expert.
Asbestos cement sheeting seems to be a different product.
