Asbestos plasterboard?

[Paulbhoy87]

Just about to start a loft conversion in my home, noticed the old boards for all the ceilings is a bit strange looking which had me worried it’s asbestos. Please see attached photos, anyone think there’s asbestos in the boards or is it just old style plasterboard sheets, it’s the brown fibres that has me worried. Any feedback appreciated.

I don't think that's asbestos. But I'm a random staranger on the internet. I have been on an asbestos trading course though.
Given that you're doing a whole loft conversion it's worth sending a bit off for confirmation

Thanks for your reply. I’m going to get in touch with some local asbestos company’s tomorrow, I just thought this type of board might of been something people on this forum had come across before and might of had a bit of information on what it was.
