It seems that my soil pipe is asbestos. In the past someone has painted it, and now some of the paint is starting to peel off. The relatively loose stuff I can easily get off, but the stuff that is still keyed may be a harder job. So two questions, what is the safest way to remove the paint from the pipe, and what would be the best thing to paint it with (assuming that it is discoloured) ?
TIA
