Most people are aware that gas is potentially unsafe, should there be any concerns about gas or if you smell the distinctive smell of gas, contact a gas safe engineer.

For a Burslem house or flat, one example could be mastic on an EPDM roof. Roof coverings, including flat and sloped roofs are comprehensively checked, if these parts of the property are easy to view or easy to access.

If discovered, one must be careful never to move the asbestos. Professional advice must be taken without delay. Surveyors cannot test for asbestos on a Burslem home survey. They will mention possible asbestos during the survey and should suggest experts are consulted.
