Storage Heaters

Some older storage heaters (pre-1972) contain asbestos, which is fairly safe unless the heater is dismantled.

There's a list of models known to contain asbestos, worth checking if an offer or request mentions the bricks from a storage heater - these can be repurposed as outside ovens, thanks to their good heat retention and resistance.

See this list of storage heaters containing asbestos.

For asbestos disposal guidance, see Asbestos.
