Hi,
I'm thinking of doing some building work. The property was originally constructed (1973) will an oil fired central heating system which resided in a 'boiler house' almost in the centre of the property (terrace house) with a flue ca. 4inch steel pipe enclosed in a 10by
10 inch galvanised steel duct going straight up to the roof. The whole system is now redundant and the boiler itself removed sometime in the past. I would like to demolish this enclosure (not a problem structurally) and remove the flue/duct.However, there is some foil backed board on the party wall behind where the boiler was. I would guess that this could well be AIB. I would also guess that there a possibility that the duct could be filled with loose asbestos.
Is there any where that I could simply take (South East)/send a couple for analysis without having to commit to a full survey. From what I can gather it only a matter of looking samples under a microscope/polarised light
