We’ve been meaning to re lag our attic for a while, but finally got round to it a few days ago, in the light of all the Climate change discussions/ Insulate Britain movement etc.
My husband wore a mask, goggles, and fully clothed, simply to avoid inhalation of dust etc. I stayed out of the way.
We were going to bag all the old loose fill lagging up for landfill, then decided this would take forever, so we just put the new on top of the old, and hopefully would give more insulation.
My husband then had this feeling, that the old lagging could be asbestos. He looked it up, and there were pictures of attics...like ours...with loose fill lagging which looks like ours. It was saying this could be asbestos, as it wasn’t completely banned until 1999. We had thought it was earlier than the 1982 our house was built. In fact, some builders had given us this information.
So, now we don’t want to do anymore until it’s been checked, but does anyone know, or have any experience of this?
