Default Re: Belling Vintage heaters

That looks like it might be ok, I have an Ekco Thermovent heater which has got asbestos in it, it’s more of a thin 2-3mm thick white board, and is visibly fibrous, and if poked with something it feels soft, a bit like hardboard. Your last 2 photos look like it’s ceramic/ clay type element supports, if you get something metallic and tap on it that’ll tell you if it is. It’s possible it could contain asbestos, but if it is the clay type then it’ll be better than the soft type in my Ekco heater, it shouldn’t release fibres unless you break it.

Regards
Lloyd

Ps: I’m not an expert of any sort on asbestos!
