An old and now deceased friend's place has some rewirable fuses with asbestos flash pads. They are long overdue for replacement and now that seems to be getting underway. If the siblings now owning it can sort it out before the estate is settled that is not an issue, but there is a chance that could run for a year and it really needs done now. Actually, it needed done 40 years ago, but that is water under the bridge.
I have read the HSE guidance a33 on this but really it strikes me as too much trouble and expense for kit like a class-H vacuum cleaner, etc, if I had to deal with this as a one-off job. So I'm guessing the best option if it falls to me would be to isolate and disconnect the cables, and get a 3rd party in to remove and dispose of the asbestos-containing equipment.
Has anyone had to do this, and if so who did they get to do the removal/disposal of the equipment? (Ideally someone in Scotland)
Roughly how much did it cost?
