Hi all. I just moved to my new house. It's a 1996 build. I want to paint it, involving sanding it and everything else. Now the two first pics are from the living room wall. It looks like plasterboard to me but I haven't got much knowledge about those stuff. Does it look like it would be asbestos?

The third which is a ceiling looks like an artex type, but as it's 1996, is it likely to contain asbestos?

Are those two surfaces safe to paint, sand, fix the holes etc? Thank you!

My wife has been doing some work for a client, she's been asked to cover these holes in the ceiling and is worried they're asbestos. I'm not sure who drilled the holes originally, the building is ~1890s build in London, England. Any way to tell from these pictures?

1950's ex council house in the North East but not sure when the bathroom was installed. Buyers survey highlighted possible asbestos in a few textured ceilings and soffits.

I am about to do some removal of bathroom shelves drilled through the tiles and into the wall. I can see some of the backing board which I believe is cement board, is it a reasonable assumption that this is what's behind all of the tiling and crack on?

Would asbestos be likely in a bathroom?

(On a separate note the tiles above the broken board seem to be just sitting on the wood)

Hi, we’ve recently bought a 1906 terrace that was extended in 2023. There’s some rubble amongst the soil in the garden. This one piece seems to have a tuft of reasonably coarse fibres sticking out of it. They ‘glisten’ under torchlight. Any thoughts? Sorry about the resolution. Thanks
