Asked to give a quote for the renovation of a flat roof extension and the removal of the 70s suspended ceiling tiles, my potential builder suggested that the tiles might contain asbestos.
I've sent away a sample. Disappointed that the "next working day email" hasn't arrived, so still awaiting the verdict.
However, I'm wondering what to do next if it is asbestos.
Would I be allowed to remove these tiles myself (wearing the appropriate cover-alls and mask
etc) and if so, what about disposal?
If not, what's it going to cost? Ceiling is 18'X15' ie 270 1' sq. tiles.
