  • Garage boundary weeds, possible asbestos

    There's a petrol station storage unit adjacent to our bottom garden fence. It has an old iron fence defining the building boundary and within are monstrous brambles that continually push through the fence, a huge hedge that obscures views and a rotting gutter that could possibly be asbestos?

    As these are all the garage side is it worth getting in touch with their head office? Gutter aside this would cost me a lot!

    If the 'brambles' are trespassing on your property, then yes. The asbestos isn't a 'health and safety' issue in situ, but if it's moved then it can be a 'health hazard' as it releases tiny particles. Contact them with your concerns.

      Brambles aren't weeds... they are a source of flavoursome nutritious berries
      Trained and kept pruned against the fence they also disincentivize trespassers

      But you are entitled to cut them back to the boundary if you don't want them

        Thanks, I'm not 100% sure if it's asbestos or not but it's rotting and flaking in lots of places so I guess at least an assessment might be worth it
