asbestos

I understand Artex may contain asbestos so keen to get views on whether this appears to be woodchip or artex - low ceiling area. Thanks

So, I've taken out click vinyl flooring that I wanted to replace in my house (from 70s) had bought some time ago. Was just a hall, and because it is part of an extension, most was rough concrete underneath, but also with small bit (roughly 90x180cm) had odd black tiles, that were sometimes...

Ive just started stripping old anaglypta type wallpaper from my bathroom and underneath the anaglypta is what looks like bits of white fluffy cotton wool. I don’t know what it could be and i’m worried sick that it could be asbestos. Is this a possibility?

Recently purchased a house built in 1960. I’ve got new boiler going in tomorrow so I was removing the boxing in around old boiler and came across what I believe to be old pipe insulation. I picked up and bagged it. But broke it in half so it would fit. After doing so I realised it could...

Hi can anyone tell me if there is likely to be asbestos anywhere around this fireplace and which parts it could be in? The surround is not originally black it was painted this colour. The house is old but I’m not sure how old (somewhere over 100 years I think)

Hi. So some of you may have seen my other posts on our hallway rennovation of our 1920s semi. Well it's been back to brick and laths for a couple of months now and we are not getting anywhere! I had to let our agreed builder go, before he put it back together, as I learnt that it had lime...

I'm in Spain ... ceiling with water damage .. need to repair ceiling tiles & plaster after fixing leak .. I'm worried these ceiling tiles may be asbestos insulation tiles .. this extension was done in the mid 70-80 's in Spain .

Hey, first time poster. Thanks in advance for any advice. I've knocked through a small hole in a wall and noticed white fibres sticking out of the plasterboard. They look larger and less concentrated than I would expect asbestos to be, but was hoping someone with more experience would be able to...

First time poster here looking for some advice! We are taking up a wooden floor over a porch to add insulation in a 1930’s house. Have discovered this under the floor boards and in between the joists in the rafters. Any ideas? We’ve had the artex tested for asbestos which came back negative...

Hiii everyone.. I'm so nervous and have literally spent the past 3 days sobbing over this and I'm hoping some one can just say GET A GRIP JESSICA!!! Basically at the end of my garden, the wall is the back of garages owned my the council. The guttering on it and the roof is aged asbestos and...

What type of wallpaper is this, and should I suspect Asbestos in any of them?

Looking for any suggestions on when and why someone would have built a cement and corrugated asbestos structure in the garden of a 1930s property in SE London. Nothing on planning permission and pretty sure it's 1980s or earlier. See drawing! - 2 parallel walls of roughly 4.2m and 2.1m length...

What do you guys think of these images? I've bought a testing sample kit but wondering what you think and how I'll deal with it if it is. I've already probably breathed in enough dust as the electrician has been around rewiring the house and there is dust everywhere. It's mostly the artex style...

I'm intending to remove a chimney (installation date unknown). I know that the inner chinmney is asbestos cement tubes and that the outer shell of the chimney is a rusty steel. However,, the insullation between the two walls is not something that I feel able to identify. It looks like fibre...

Hi, I have recently had the displeasure of discovering a leak (second time) which is coming through my kitchen ceiling. the house was built in the 50s and the kitchen roof and most rooms for that matter are artex’d. I’ve not had it tested but I’m worried as the initial leak was years ago and the...

Hi all, Hoping someone can help me out with these storage heaters. They look pretty old. Cant find any serial numbers on them so not sure if they are on the list of storage heaters which contain asbestos... 20210302_194055 by Eggyneil posted 2 Mar 2021 at 7:42 PM20210302_194113 by Eggyneil...

Hello all, Just moved into my new flat, a late 70s to early 80s built council flat. Removed a panel to access the services... Bit scared. Or is it just fibreglass? Same image zoomed in:

Hello All. 1950's house - when we moved in a few years ago, it had poor heating and poor ventilation. Condensation and black mould was the result, unsurprisingly. Heating has been greatly improved by way of new rads and a log burner. But the ventilation is still really bad. Thinking that...

Recently removed what I thought was (gypsum?) plasterboard (AIB found on external wall was different - seen in grey panels) just wondered if anyone had insight to potential asbestos, unfortunately I can’t have it tested as it went in the skip! It is the board below the window internally and...
