Asbestos on ceiling plaster and ceiling plaster?

[Jonny Vee]

I have had the bad idea to replace my old slate and mortar ceilings and walls.

What an unbelievable and dusty job. Before putting this thing into some skip would like to be sure is no asbestos. I understand asbestos is not visible and I was wondering as per attached photos what that hair are and are harmless.

Thanks

How old is the house? Looks like normal old lime plaster, but you can get a sample tested if you want to be sure. Various companies on line will send you a bag that you can use to get a sample to them for testing.

House is 1930 but believe this has been refreshed on the last 90 years or maybe not

The stuff that looks like hair is probably hair.

Looks like a Time Team dig.
