Kitchen renovation

[Murmurre]

Hello.
I'm thinking about a kitchen renovation.
Considering leaving the old tiles where there is asbestos in the adhesive and grout. Thinking of placing a drywall behind the upper cabinets and base cabinets. Then drywall over the whole thing. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Stupid? Infeasible? Throw your thoughts over

I think it sounds smart. I assume you just put extension boxes on existing electrical boxes if there are any.

(If you sell the apartment/property in the future, you can inform the new owner that there is some asbestos sealant behind the panel. It can be considerate if nothing else).

I would probably put some adhesive/glue behind the last panel on the part that goes over the asbestos tiles. Maybe that's overkill.

I would probably have put a bit of fix/adhesive behind the last panel on the part that goes over the asbestos tiles. Maybe that's overkill.

Thanks for the input

Cumbersome and time-consuming to try encapsulating a bit of asbestos.

No, go ahead and buy a decent mask, a disposable coverall, and some garbage bags, remove the tiles and take them to the recycling center. You don't always have to complicate things.

Good thoughts. Thanks.

It is possible to tile on top of tiles, so it is not necessary to increase the wall thickness with an additional plasterboard.

To handle asbestos like the professionals, more than just a mask and disposable overalls are required.

Hi.
Well, it doesn't have to be "professional" (then there are idiots who call themselves pros, but that's another story).
I've checked the Swedish Work Environment Authority, so I have a decent understanding of it.
Thank you very much for the tip
