Anxiety over aspestos uk 60s home

We have recently relocated to be with my mum who has ill health. We are staying with her until our house sale is final. Shes having works done on her house due to a leak and im petrifed there may be aspestos. They have drilled into ceilings for lights and removed old copper piping. Shes also having the loft insulation replaced. Current loft insulation is thick cream looking rolls of fluffy insulation. We have only just come and im petrifed to stay. Ky mum said shes not aware of any aspestos but thats not concrete evidence for me. What would you do? I feel sick with worry. 

  • I would presume that most workmen can recognise asbestos and would not  carry out work which would endanger their health. Has the loft been inspected and replacement insulation ordered? If not, perhaps your mother might allow you to contact a firm on her behalf to get a quotation and then you will know if the existing rolls are hazardous.
