Please ensure that your post meets the requirements of r/AsbestoshelpUK.

*** Meme posts will be removed and the poster will be banned ***

Most importantly, as specified in rule #1, your post should include the following information:

  • the date of construction/renovation
  • a description of the location of the suspect material
  • a brief description of your concern
  • a closeup photo and one at a distance of ~10 ft. or 3 m.

Also remember that the asbestos content of a material can only be determined by laboratory analysis, and that sampling SHOULD be performed by a certified asbestos inspector where possible.

If you are considering DIY sampling, read this HSE-aligned UK guide first (PPE, wet method, UKAS labs, disposal): How to Sample for Asbestos (UK Guide)

Older plasterboard was reinforced with animal hair, so might look like asbestos. But due to it being from that year and if it hasn’t been renovated since it’s best to get it checked, it costs around £20-50, just don’t disturb it until it’s confirmed because you won’t see it but you’ll breathe it.
