Just seen This sorry. Thank you for your reply. Our survey identified asbestos in the cupboard door and seen in the lining of the ductwork so we want the system out as I get that from that inspection it’s in all the ductwork. thabks for advice on cavity insulation as we will need to do that too. If we ever get the house. the sellers don’t want to move on the price even though we’ve been quoted £6k to remove asbestos from the door and all the vents. Then we’d have to install a new heating system. So hard to know if they’re being over cautious and saying there is asbestos there rot if we should trust that they’re the specialist and will know if there’s asbestos in the lining of the ducts. Just don’t want me or my family to be getting cancer in 20 years time because we left it. thw roof also need replacing soon but again, sellers don’t want to negotiate. We’ve come to the conclusion that we may have to walk if they don’t compromise at all.

Who did your asbestos survey? We’ve had one done in a property we’re hoping to get abs the asbestos survey said it’s in the door to the boiler cupboard and also seen visually in the lining of the ductwork. Edit: oops didn’t see the reply. Sorry. See my next post in new to this site and clearly not grasping it.

just curious if you had a refurbishment/demolition invasive survey or a management survey? I know this is a couple of years old but we’re in a similar situation at the moment. House built in 1977 and has old warm air heating system. We think the boiler cupboard and flue may have been replaced already but not sure about ductwork. Did you have the whole system out in the end or just the visible and accessible bits? Was it safe to just block off the ductwork you couldn’t get at? Thanks :)
