Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Doing it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
