We sent out samples off to Bradley Environmental Consultants. Cost about £55 to have 2 samples tested. Turns out we have chrysotile roof edging and chrysotile / amosite soffit boards to our bungalow. https://www.bradley-enviro.co.uk/ I'll post separately about the demolition as we are getting the full asbestos survey next month (once we have moved out) to be followed shortly afterwards by the most expensive demolition known to man.

Latest update on the glazing costs. I have my quote from Idealcombi and it's only about £200 cheaper than the quote from Norrsken, excluding installation. I've had difficulty getting all the elevation plans over to them and so I haven't got figures for the glazed gable section, so I've made an assumption on these, but I don't think I'll be too far off the mark. Some windows are more, some are less, but overall there's little difference between the total figures. For the sake of the £200, I'm going to stick with Norrsken on the strength of the supply and fit package and no VAT reclaim, plus a nicer option on the internal frame finish. Also, the tall window in the hallway that goes to the upper ceiling needs to be done in 3 pieces by Idealcombi, whereas Norrsken can do it as 2 pieces. Thanks for all the help and input, everyone. I'm sad that I couldn't get the prices down, but happy that I've done my due diligence on the glazing.
