Hello Karen and thank you for your post.

Unfortunately I am unable to answer your question as I am not an expert in asbestos. From what I understand local councils provide information and advice about asbestos and its disposal. You can put in your postcode on the Asbestos in the home webpage of the UK government website GOV.UK and it will link you to your local councils asbestos information. This usually has the telephone contact details of the environmental health department or section.

I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful but hope that this information is useful.

With kind regards,

Mary
