Should I be worried about asbestos?

We've had a lot of expensive asbestos testing done at the flat were renovating and nothing found, but today when I was removing tiles in the kitchen I found a fibrous layer. Does anyone have any idea if this is likely to be asbestos, or is it just fibre reinforced concrete? I know no one can say for sure without testing but thinking every single thing is asbestos is starting to make me lose my mind! Thanks for any thoughts :)

Old Marley type tiles may have had some asbestos in them but you cant tell 100% without testing.

How old is your flat?

If you can, seal it by boarding over or have it removed professionally.

There are a number of sources of information available one of which I have linked to below. I must stress that if you don't know what you are doing, leave it alone.
