Would you get any/all of these tested for asbestos?

House built mid-1940's, ex council, new windows in last couple years. These replaced ones council had done in 1985. Had plaster removed from a few windows - dust everywhere. Afterwards someone mentions possibility of asbestos. In the plaster as it was really hard (just looks like gypsum so I had no concerns before it was mentioned). Then there bits of plastic dpc and some bituminous stuff, broken and flaking and falling down from top of windows, mixed in with hessian strands. Also, some cwi almost falling out. Is there possibility of asbestos in any/all of these: plaster, bitumen above window, cwi? Is it advisable to get any or all of these tested for asbestos?
I'll need to clear the stuff from top of windows to make airtight/insulate/plaster again.
Attached some photos of plaster and bitumen at top of one window.

Found some asbestos in moulded fireplace made 1940s but that gets hot from real fire.

Asbestos cement board we have all seen on roof buildings and garage roof plus soffits and guttering.

Tends to be around heat like fire Place or boiler. Also water tanks and floor tiles.

Hard to say for sure but I can't see anything in pictures to worry about. Looks like plaster. Concrete. Block's and general building materials


Maybe get the house looked at with asbestos survey

Thanks. Have no concerns about most as all standard stuff like brick/wood/lime/solid plaster - no cement boards or owt (maybe by old back boiler, but that's hidden away). Bitumen again on kitchen floor is other possibility, but covered by newer tiling before we even had a clue of asbestos.
Yea, survey is pretty pricey, but I may pay a few quid on a testing kit.. Thanks again for your response.

The main places for asbestos are places like fireplaces (Asbestolux fireboard - often used when converting from coal fires to block the flue), ceilings and wall linings in airing cupboards (to retain heat from the immersion cylinder - backs of doors are often asbestos clad), outdoor cubby holes got lined, too. You will also find asbestos on stairs (on the treads and as underdrawings), in Marley-type vinyl floor tiles and their bitumen-type adhesives, etc. TBH, doesn't look like you have much to worry about
