Am I allowed to remove friable asbestos?

No you are not! The removal of friable asbestos cannot be conducted safely without the use of specially designed equipment that only licensed professionals have available. It is not possible for a homeowner to remove any quantity of friable asbestos in a safe manner (not even quantities less than 10 square metres), so you simply must get some help!
