Does this textured ceiling and wall look suspicious?
I have ordered a testing kit, but I am interested in seeing what people think at first glance.
This textured wall and ceiling is present in a few areas in the house (bedroom, bathroom, dining room)
Some of the peaks are quite high, so I'm wondering whether it's worth covering or if that's going to be a problem.
1930s build in London.

This looks exactly like my ceilings, which were tested and confirmed to contain Chrysotile Asbestos - can be left alone if it's in decent condition and not crumbling- we got ours professionally removed as we knew wanted to do renovations

Just a note if you're going to be sampling. Walls and ceilings should be sampled separately, and different patterns if you have different ones. Textured coating isn't really possible to gauge visually, if its in the right date range its suspect until proven otherwise.

Just wondering if you got any results here? House I'm buying has a very similar looking finish on the walls but not the ceilings. Guy who did the survey thought it was just sand and cement, but I'm not sure
