An 80-year-old woman was left to live in a room with exposed asbestos for a week after a workman didn’t warn her, her family said.
Sheila Sneddon, from Newcastle, agreed to have a new boiler put in by British Gas, but says she was not told the full extent of how disruptive the work would be.
It wasn’t until her son-in-law, who is a builder, came round that the potential problem at the bungalow on Chapel House estate was realised. The family say it was found both in the exposed wall where the boiler had been, and in a high reading in the air. The pensioner, who has breathing issues and uses a walking frame, had agreed to the new boiler after becoming concerned that the parts for her old one were becoming more difficult to source.
She says she lucky was able to get her neighbours to come in and help as her daughter and son-in-law were both at work and she is not fit or stable enough on her feet to carry things.
