Hi all

I recently just bought my first place, and the building needs soffit vents installed. The problem i have is that the soffit board is asbestos!
Ive been told i can drill it as long as, i damp it down and use a hi speed drill, and wear the correct "PPE" of course.
Can any confirm that this is the correct procedure for such a job?
