removing soffits with asbestos

[SIMMO SAYS]

My Dad, who was extremely fit to the age of 73, cut up some asbestos sheets as a favour, once, in the 1960s. He died from mesothelioma (caused by a microscopic shard of asbestos, which lies dormant in the body - perhaps for decades - until it reveals itself as cancer at a point at which it is untreatable). He died at 74.

Don't piss about with asbestos.

Sorry to hear that trueblue.
Knowledge about asbestos in the sixties was probably non existent or kept quite by the manufacturers.
I never take chances. If we do have to get pipes through the stuff,we always soak it when cutting or drilling and wear masks.

My old Mum & Dad live next door to a so called professional asbestos remover in Coldean.
At any time you would like to look there are pink plastic bags stacked up in his back garden for weeks.
Left to me I would confront him then DECK him several seconds later.
My parents do not want confrontation at their time of life so I have not got involved.
However an incognito phone call to the council may be on the way.

and yet you are such a sweet person underneath
