Hi All

We live in a block of flats and recently we had a leak. Turns out that two floors above had a slight crack in their water pipe. It was finally agreed that a company would come to replace the water pipes on 3 floors - including ours.
The plumbers came and proceeded to remove the old pipes with plastic sheets protecting the kitchen (open kitchen/living room) from the living room. They were all wearing masks and I subsequently found out that there was a little asbestos in the pipes.
Now I'm getting paranoid as we have a 2 month old boy.
I was hoping someone on here could give me some advice. Are we in danger? Should we employ an asbestos remover? Any help would be really appreciated.
