Hi
We are renovating our own kitchen and laundry in Wellington, it's a 1965 house.
I cut a piece of lino and backing from both our kitchen and the laundry, both samples are postive for Chrysotile (asbestos).
We are replacing everything in both the kitchen and laundry.
Originally I was planning on pulling up the lino and having the rimu flooring sanded and polished.
The kitchen flooring has a layer of lino, then chipboard, then a grey layer (which i assume is the asbestos layer), it doesn't seem very friable at all. I have sealed over the area where i cut the sample.
In the laundry there is a layer of lino, then a grey fibrous layer that is friable.
What do people think of professional removal of asbestos, how much would they charge? 5.5 m2 and 2 m2 area of lino (~7.5 m2 total area). I'm worried that even after professional removal of asbestos when the flooring people machine sand the floor residual fibres from the professional cleanup might be airated. The kitchen is adjcant to the laundry via a hallway to the outside door so i think the cleanup area would be connected to both kitchen and laundry.
Does anyone know if after removal of the asbestos they can do machine sanding while still having the plastic sheeting up. I don't want residual asbestos in the floor board cracks going in my adjacent lounge?
