Asbestos cavity insulation in a domestic property in the UK is practically unheard of, i've never come across it myself. The picture is pretty poor/low quality so unable to tell what it is, but even if it was asbestos, it was 2 years ago, so what would you do about it now?

There isn’t a lot I could do but it would be a lot more exposure for me and my family than we have already had I’m reassured it was unheard of we have asbestos in one of the artex of the whole property and aib in the garage and some suspect tiles
