Advice please...
Renovating bathroom in a 1970s semi, taking tiles off the sill brought up chunks of plaster and cracked the rest.
So I've taken the rest of the plaster up leaving what looks like a bed of mortar. This is also cracked, but after knocking a couple of loose bits out of the way, noticed the white fibrous board shown in the close up...
I've used the dreaded 'A' word, no scientific evidence, but given the appearance and some mentions of asbestos boards being used as general packing around that era have assumed the worst.
My question is what can/should I do?! I don't mind leaving it in but would want to make the sill solid before tiling over, so any ideas on that welcome
Thx
