electical work in asbestos-fibro cladding

[Reno RSS Feed]

Just bought a house - all the internal cladding and ceiling is old fibro which probably contains asbestos. Looking to relocate/add a few powerpoints, light switches/fittings etc., fairly basic bread-and-butter stuff. Questions for any electricians out there is how do you deal with fibro for these sorts of jobs? Can you use power tools for drilling, cutting holes etc? How do you deal with dust and disposal, and does the cost blow out relative to plasterboard?

Any advice much appreciated - I've looked through all the asbestos forums but not much help
