Anyone suggesting aim heat at people and not air space in house is crackers. Speak to any building services engineer. Creating a stable environment with a modest indoor temperature and humidity is required.
There are so many botched or poor interventions in my house. The worst part, window reveals leak so badly (plastic L sections) and the double glazing units all need replacing.
As for asbestos, it’s a natural material, been mined for thousands of years. Most prevalent in UK homes from 1940s, banned as a building product in the UK since 2000, including artex, pipe lagging, insulation, ceiling tiles. Still being mined in China and India. Still present in a lot of older properties. Requires professionals to remove and dispose it. My restoration project is riddled with it, still one of most challenging aspects of my work.
