I've linked it before and I'll link it again, first 15 square metres of asbestos gets collected for free in most London boroughs: https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/services/waste-and-recycling/commercial-waste/hazardous-waste-collection

If I was a tradesman, then I'd be erring on the side of caution due to repeated potential exposure, and historically it's been people in construction/building/engineering/fabrication that have suffered asbestos related diseases. As a DiYer, I'd be getting it tested, then suited up and covering it in wallpaper paste before scoring it with a Stanley knife to scrape it off. My local tip will take up to 10 bags or 10 sheets of asbestos from the general public at £12.10 a bag/sheet.
Just curious, does anyone have nitrogen dioxide or radon meters in their house?
