Help! Asbestos!
Hi,
I've been trying to sell my kiln a large Hymus 3M 2 phase kiln. However i found out from one of the engineers i was trying to sell it to that the panels are made from asbestos. No immediate threat to my health unless i attack it with a hammer but it explains why no-one will touch it. Have I any recourse with the company who sold me the kiln? As they didn't tell me it had asbestos in it. hope someone can help. Alex |

There are two main types, the blue which is the baddie , and the white which is almost o.k.If it is blue then you will have to pay someone who has a licence to come and remove it ( the ones who wear those space type suits) If however it is the white asbestos which at the moment is not category "A" then you can either sell it quite legally or if it is old and not worth much you can take it to your local dump it site.If you do decide to attack it with a hammer you must first wet it well to stop any particles floating into the air and also wear a good full face mask, but i would not reccomend the latter. I only know this because we dismantled a part asbestos garage and took it to the dump it site, saving us the SEVEN HUNDRED QUID we were quoted. AND this only came about because i phoned the local council to see how we could dispose of it cheaper. -- paula. |
