Hi I am querying whether this material contains asbestos.
My kitchen ceiling needs a small hole in so the plumber can access the waste pipe from my shower drain which is leaking.
He is reluctant to cut through the ceiling until we have made sure the artex ceiling doesn't have asbestos in.
I have had a firm come out and check the white artex and the report says it is asbestos free.
The asbestos company only took scrapings from the artex and did not test the more deeper plasterboard looking material. He said that the deeper material looks like plasterboard so there is no need to check.
I have attached photos from a small piece which was removed carefully. I am going to send this off to a lab where I hope they will rule out asbestos in it?
From peoples experience does this look like plasterboard, and are those fibres innocent?
I look forward to hearing from you
many thanks
