Hi,
Having recently discovered that we have asbestos in our fireplace, I've been looking elsewhere in the house at potential suspect asbestos containing materials and wondered if this old plasterboard (which lies beneath the stairs in our under stairs cupboard) could contain asbestos? It has what appear to be hairs/tuffts of fibre visible. (Zoom in for detailed view). Our house was built circa 1930 but renovated in the 60's and 70's... It was broken by our renovators three years ago when we had work done but we were told it was just horsehair plasterboard.
Any thoughts???
Thanks in advance,
Elaine
