Where you'll find them
Bath side panels, window boards and sills, toilet cisterns, airing cupboard linings and boxing around pipes, quick jobs for a 1960s joiner, headaches for a 2020s renovator.
The risk
Low while painted and intact; released when bathrooms are ripped out. Most bathroom-fitter horror stories start with an untested bath panel.
Removal and cost
A sample costs around £125; removal of individual boards is often a same-day visit priced in the low hundreds, and easily bundled with a bathroom or window replacement schedule.
