I sent a sample off to be tested it was a sorta dusty grit that was behind some cladding in the kitchen. The result was there were tiny pieces of gasket that contained chrysotile. I have some old brown tiles in the kitchen and as the pieces in sample were so small it was hard to tell if it was gasket or bits of tile that broken over the years. (The sample was taken ground level.) they advised it is low risk and said to have an environmental clean. I was wondering if this is really necessary?
I'm thinking the material from behind the cladding was where it was installed and drilling made grit and dust and the tiles have broken over years and little pieces worked its way into the gap between cladding and floor. Based on this i would anyone advise on action or is low risk so clean up ourselves.as I've heard these tiles are hard to extract the a asbestos anyway. We are covering the tiles with new floor just wondered if this environmental clean was needed
