Asbestos cold water tank???

[SimonG]

Used an online service a few years back. Had some dodgy pipe insulation in an old folks home. Sent me a kit out. Overalls, mask, gloves, bags etc. Take a sample double bag and post it back. Email results a few days later. Mine wasn't asbestos. About 40 notes.

Thank you Simon so much for all the info. I've found a company to test the tank. Knocked them down from £162 to £80! Not as great as your deal but I'm rather happy with my haggling skills They're coming tomorrow morning and will get results in the afternoon. Appreciate you getting in touch x

So are house mortgage surveyors now going to be insisting that ALL asbestos be removed before a mortgage can be granted?

That'll potentially mean some houses may be unsaleable.
Imagine a house with Asbestos;

Guttering
Downpipes
Soil Stack
Artex
Asbestos Floor tiles.

Perhaps I'm just the unlucky one! My house is unsaleable until asbestos is removed. I've had do a lot of work on the property (a Victorian house) just to meet current building regs!! The loft bedroom had to be marketed as a loft room as it doesn't meet building regs to be classed as a bedroom anymore. Good news for those in the build game I guess! x
