Hi All,

Recently been tearing down a ceiling in a renovation and came across this piece of material which I’m unsure if it may be asbestos? Looks like plaster mixed in with some sort of bridging agent. Any ideas?

Thank you

How old is your property? You can get it tested so you know for sure.

Glassfibre strands reinforcement mixed into plaster/render. Seek & Take advice, wear a mask, use a vacuum. The problem is that tiny bits break off as dust and are as dangerous as asbestos.
( Info comes from one of my housemate buddies years ago, a chemist, responsible for doing the lab tests to determine asbestos and other hazardous fibres for an asbestos removal firm.).

Just take it down

If you're still alive in 6 weeks, you got away with it.
 
Thank you for the information.

I’m really worried now. What should I do. So many things I haven’t done in life. Thanks ‘doctor moron’
I’m afraid he’s correct. When you die of asbestosis, the inside of your lungs turn to beads and your airways block up. Hence “Bead Dead” I know this because I am a doctor moron.
 
What kind of tile do you have on your ceiling? Examine the production date of the ceiling tile. What do you think? When was the building built or renovated? or When was the ceiling tile put in? Asbestos is commonly found in ceiling tiles installed prior to 1980. Ceiling tiles made of asbestos are typically 9 by 9 inch or 12 by 12 inch white or off-white frames held up in a grid system. These are the few simple steps that the asbestos abatement team recommends. Look for any evidence of the manufacturer, such as a stamp on the back of a tile or installation records. Remove a full-size ceiling panel from the suspension system, flip it over, and search for an item number.
