As part of DIY project have uncovered some ceiling boards that have white solid but crumbly substance between sheets of brown paper like material. Sheets are marked with gyproc fireproof wall and ceiling board from UK. I appreciate this is probably plasterboard but as the house was built in 1957 and it says fireproof on it is it possible it contains asbestos?
 
Plaster, or rather gypsum is fireproof, and that is what it is. Asbestos was not used on plasterboard
