carlosdeanos Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I think the soffit is asbestos. I am just taking it down, but is this fluffy type material also? It seems a lot like cotton. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Fluffy stuff is cavity wall insulation, the board may be cement board. You can get it tested for about £25 on eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosdeanos Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 @PeterW thanks I will take the fluffy stuff out then. Yea the cement board came up on a survey as asbestos cement when I bought the place so I'm taking the precautions removing it. Unfortunately I did drill a hole in one side of the soffit without realising so hopefully I will be okay! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I used to drill pilot holes in asbestos sheet fir a fixing and Health and safety got involved (rightly so) and they recommended spraying the drill with water whilst I drilled to stop airborne particles. I am still here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
