Asbestos vs. quotations

Posted by Jennifer McAteer, on
Just moved into a new property that has some asbestos. We've had a number of tradesmen around to look at work we need doing but they go away and don't follow up with the quotes they say they will. Is this because of the asbestos? What is the best way to find a decent tradesman who is happy to work with asbestos? FYI the property is ex council so we have to use the competent persons register to find a tradesman.

Have you had a asbestos survey done or is it just from purchase survey. If you have asbestos then you will need to have this removed prior to trades carrying out works. The best place to get someone to remove will be via council as they will normally have list. Don't be tempted to do this on cheap as fibres will hang around for some time.
