asbestos

More unidentified pipe lagging in my undercroft. Please see pic below - what is this stuff? Any chance it contains asbestos? Or is it some sort of mineral wool? Any advice welcome!

I'm new to the forum so apologies for any daft questions. Was clearing out my undercroft the other day and came across what looks like some old pipe insulation. Photos attached, brown in colour, there are bits of it all over the place so must break up easily. Don't know how long it's been there...

Hi, in my bedroom the ceiling is starting to flake in places. Here is the first place - https://imgur.com/HEa2k2X and here is the other side of the room - https://imgur.com/uFLJofw . I had a sample tested and it came back positive for Chrysotile, what can I do to make sure asbestos fibres aren't...

Hi all, I'm inexperienced and need your help in figuring something out. I bought a flat recently and the survey identified asbestos Artex in one of bedroom, and also in the cupboard ceiling of the other bedroom. I got some licensed folks to come over and get rid of all the Artex they...

Hi guys, first time posting here, Just a quick question about what I found while while gardening. The edge (boundary) is made of concrete or cement, and on the inner side of the concrete, found this. I thought it was just a hard soil or something, and broke a piece of it, then thought maybe...

Hi, recently bought a 1910 house and was putting up a curtain rail in the bedroom. The wall started to crumble away and noticed a lot of the rubble coming out of it looking like the pics below. Is this potentially asbestos? Or is it unlikely? I’ve never come across it before so I’m unsure. Cheers

Was redecorating and saw this between doorframe and wall, does it look like asbestos? More fibres sticking out up the wall. Planning on wallpapering over it.

[edit: situation now sorted]

Hello, My husband and I have already taken down a partition wall and unattractive cupboard in our kitchen, we have yet to take the ceiling down. We are then having a new ceiling and walls re plastered. Whilst doing research online I discovered that some properties have asbestos I the walls...

Hi Just about to start the fire for the winter in new old bungalow - noticed protruding rope in surround, and some suspect possible asbestos board up in chimney... Likely going to get a sample and get it tested... but what do you all think? Might be hard to get a sample for the upper chimney...

Started to remove some coving trim under the main coving. Seems to have this yellow fibre mixed in with what I think is plaster. Anyone know what this is? Is it safe to remove? Worried it could be something linked with asbestos. House was built in the early 70s. Did think it could be horse hair...

Hi There. DIY amateur here but hoping for some help/guidance. I was up in the loft in the house we just bought and noticed the insulation was a mix of the odd roll of fibreglass/wool but also this grey stuff. I was originally posting elsewhere to understand what the small nests were (since...

Hey, I’ve recently been doing a rewire on our house and all the walls are dot & dabbed and the interior walls upstairs are simply 3 layers of plasterboard (the middle being slightly thicker). I’ve been cutting out the sockets and switches no problem until one switch I started cutting was a...

my bathroom ceiling was a bit mouldy, so i painted it white. i think it had got so damp and mouldy that some of the ceiling near to the extractor had cracked and fallen off - I'm worried it could be asbestos. what do people think? please see pictures. the house was built in 1971 in ellesmere...

Hi, Has anyone ever come across this? I have what I originally thought was an old boiler flu. But it doesn’t go up to the ceiling above. Instead it appears to be support for the joist of the house. I’ve included two photos. The one with the brickwork is the top of the support / pillar where...

I haven't got a clue what asbestos looks like but the misses had a freak out when I pulled up the floorboards in our Victorian home. Anyone care to enlighten us on whether this is just an accumulation of years of crap or whether it actually looks like asbestos to you?

Working in crawlspace at the minute to insulate floors and pipes. Current pipes have this felt type lagging around it and I'm quite hesitant to disturb it. Question is... do you reckon it's Asbestos or not? Pipe Lagging 01 by costley posted 8 May 2019 at 11:05 AM Pipe Lagging 02 by costley...

Have removed some fitted wardrobes. Seems there is a section of the exterior wall that is boarded rather than solid as per rest. It’s a Victorian House. Can any tell from pic below if this is asbestos sheet?

Hello, we have recently purchases a house that was built in the 50s and have had an asbestos survey done. The survey has revealed that the bitumen in the kitchen/diner area contains asbestos (Chrysotile)….. please advise on what I should do now. I really want to pull the grotty lino up but...
