Yes it was disturbed massively when we tried to take of the plaster off the mortar underneath came away also in small chunks We didnt have it tested as it’s been covered

Thank you for your reply, please don’t think I was being rude by asking. I work with quite a few trades people and most have said they don’t think it would contain asbestos or they wouldn’t have even thought about it but none have given me a detailed answer like yours. Also the house next door...

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. If the area hadn’t have been so big I would have been able to move on without worrying so much but 4ftx6ft could potentially have released millions of fibres if there were any in there. I think I need to stop googling as that can’t give me the answer...

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I’ve fallen headfirst into google over this. I’ve read on a few websites that mortar/cement (I don’t know the difference) which shows small individual white hairs contained asbestos. I know nothing about this only what I’ve read that’s why I thought I’d...

Thank you that’s good to know

Thank you for your reply. Do you think there’s anything to worry about? Have you seen asbestos something like this?

Thank you for replying

Thank you for your reply. If it was your house and you’d pulled the ceiling down and found that would you even think about it being asbestos? Am I completely over thinking this?

I have no idea if it generated lots of fibres, here wasn’t much dust from it. Every small piece (a few cms in size) that broke away wouldn’t that potentially release millions of fibres? This is all new to me and I’m just going by what I’m reading on the internet, which indicates we’ve messed up...

Once the first part came away we pulled down a lot of this without knowing it could be asbestos. It was probably a 4x6 plasterboard size in small bits

Any other thoughts from anyone?

I’ve done some more research today and I’m convinced it’s asbestos. The white fibres weren’t clumped together like photos on google show for horse hair. I’m absolutely devastated
