Bathroom ventilation through the soffits

Posts: 4 Newbie
Finally I been able to post a thread!
I apologise for being new to this but I couldn't see an icon to post a new thread so here goes.
I have recently installed a bathroom extractor, but cannot vent it to the soffit because it is Asbestos!. However regs say that you cannot drill existing asbestos, so how do I get around driilling this hole to vent my soffit? Can i get a qualified asbestos driller to do this? As this is the easiest form of extraction?
IF by some unlucky event they say i need to put a hole through the wall, unfortunately, my bathroom is surrounded by a Garage on one side and a conservatory and bedrooms. It seems that the only way is up apart from the soffit approach. Also as my existing soffits are not vented, is there a rule about putting new vented soffits in or should they remain sealed.

B**** just answered on the old thread. Can a board guide move my answer please. All I need to do now is remember who the board guide is/are?
A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0
