It is up to the contractor to determine if their is asbestos in a domestic property.

Can I ask if you know where i might find any regs. that might contain those bits?
I had looked at earlier link, but kept seeing more Commercial stuff than Domesti/Home.

I may be able to get things going by putting them to the broker bloke if sort of 'official'.

CDM Regulations 2007 deal with legal responsibilities of all parties involved in construction work (clients, designers, contractors etc) and what does/doesn't apply for domestic work. http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/cdm.htm

Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 deal with all things to do with asbestos (funnily enough!!) http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/regulations.htm

You might find the information in the above weblinks heavy going - most people who work in the industry do!!!

I recommend you give a call to your local HSE office - they will give you some free info and/or point you in the right direction.
