1. At a guess different methodology, however, £300 seems suspiciously low to me given that they would have to pay to dispose of the asbestos at commercial rates which, in my experience, can be expensive. It is worth noting though that my only experience with asbestos removal is on large commercial sites.

2. In a commercial setting it would be written into the RAMS that the company removing the asbestos would set up air quality monitoring while the removal work was underway. This system would be left in place for at least a couple of months after removal work had finished and while subsequent work was underway to make sure there are no more nasty azzy related surprises. I don't know if this would be the case in a domestic setting but it may be worth having a word with the contractor that you choose. If they can't or won't do this you should be covered anyway as part of the work will be to thoroughly vacuum the area with an H class rated system (these, of the top of my head, trap 99.99% of particles they suck up.)

If you have concerns speak to the potential contractors and ask questions about how they will carry out the work. Professionals especially ones who do work like this should not have problems explaining what they do to potential clients.
