Asbestos guttering dangerous.

The guttering is located at the eaves of the roof pitch in industrial and warehouse properties. Unfortunately not every homeowner is aware of the dangers it poses. But gutters do take some damage particularly during storms and high winds which can make them dangerous. Asbestos cement gutters suffer from a number of common faults such as leaks cracks and the build up of debris that can escalate if left unattended over time so routine maintenance is important.

Like other asbestos products a roof gutter can be safe if it is undamaged and left alone. I wouldn t go near an asbestos gutter all it takes is a bit of asbestos dust to enter your lungs and its in there for life. Nasty stuff i recommend anyone on this forum not to go near asbestos whether mixed with cement or anything else leave it to the professionals. Extracting asbestos guttering is a task which should always be executed based on stringent requirements so as to reduce the threat of asbestos direct exposure and to avoid any form of harm from asbestos fibres which are ejected during such a process.

I got sent on an asbestos course and i didn t realise how dangerous it was.
