Thanks for the reply. Is the radon gas DPM the yellow sheet please ? If it is the yellow sheet does it span the full floor ? I've re-attached some more photos. It's just at the rear and one side of the property where the damp proof course comes out of the external brickwork at ground level and...

Many thanks for your reply. Hopefully if you was born in 1968 and started mixing it when you was 15, that makes 1983 so any health issues should have arisen by now. When you see the stipple effect like small drops of water on the artex is this the asbestos making it solid ?
