I'm particularly interested in how the painter deals with the asbestos in the bathroom; especially the metal bead/strip between the paneling. Is he going to remove the bead and then replace with new once the Asbestos is painted?
this was my suggestion to paint the asbestos wall panelling instead of replacing and blowing the budget through the roof (sorry ceiling) all trims will need a coat of metal finish to accept the paint then all will have to be primed and sealed then top coated
