That sounds about right. Depending on where you are the council will come and do one lot of takeaway as long as sealed and double bagged for not much money. (We currently have a shitload waiting to go in the corner of the garden.) The cost is getting it out of the house - the specialists are eye-wateringly expensive and (sweeping generalisation) mostly come across like right cowboys. Not something you want to scrimp money on though I suppose.
If it's low risk, you can just paint over it - as long as not disturbed (eg behind rads / roofing panels) it's not a problem. (Don't drill into it) We've lived with ours (mostly low risk) for 3 years and aren't dead yet. Now the builders have taken it out and we made sure we were away when they were doing the worst of it.
I have got the full white hooded suit + mask+ goggles + latex gloves + work gloves to do the bagging / tidying up. Hot as fuck.
