Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
