Is there any way to determine if the wallpaper and lino in a house I'm looking at contains asbestos? If it is asbestos, is there any way to deal with it? I assume the easiest option for the lino would be to put floating floors on top (a pity as the existing floor under the lino would already be timber). But what about the wallpaper? How can you spruce up the walls if the wallpaper contains asbestos?
