Recently had plastering (for damp) completed for bottom third of wall so wallpaper on rest of walls needs to come off.
It's a textured paper wallpaper used most likely to cover up the uneven surface from previous old works (it's an old house 1900s). So happily stripping it off this afternoon but found various orange-clay type marks, amongst other imperfections and thought, crikey.. asbestos.. forgot all about that.. what's this orange stuff?
In the lounge it's textured paper wallpaper. In the dining room on the chimney wall, it's a vinyl type wallpaper.. previous owner lived here for 30 years.
I've taken some photos. Any cause for concern? Can I continue happily stripping?
Thanks!
