We've just moved and have been preparing walls for painting, including filling holes and sanding down lumps.
One of these lumps revealed some fluffy fibre when sanded, which appears to be midway into the lump.
So all work has been haulted until we can identify what it is.
We have artex on our ceilings, which we haven't had tested but have assumed to contain asbestos as it is an 80s house, and we have kept well alone and will not be touching the ceiling.
Could this lump on the wall be artex that has dripped down on to the walls when it was first applied?
Lump is about 4 cm in diameter on the wall, from memory, and is towards the bottom half of the wall. It doesn't sand easily like our own filler does.
am worried.
