Hi Fellas, Some of the rooms in my house have a very thin, approx 3mm wall sheeting finished with a very thin base and skim attached to normal stud. I won't hold anyone to it but is it asbestos and if so how f#cked am I. It's made up like plasterboard but is far too thin.
Thanks in advance

i think 3mm is to thin for asbestos board too brittle when was the house built if it was 60s to late 80s theres a chance but before that not so much

House was built in 1608 but I reckon the studding is 70's or 80's

pablo almost certainly there is some asbestos in your house
that may or may not be but the only way is to get it analysed

are based in luton But i think you can send a small sample for testing
only safe way mate
you could just leave alone but you cant chance drilling through it
cheers LLL

Hello,

By the look of it, and I've seen tons of it, in all shapes and types back home, that looks a lot like asbestos. Simply wet it! It'll keep the dust down a lot :)
