  • Yes, I've heard that but I'm pretty sure that it is woodchip due to the pattern of the texture, the little fingernail-able cavities around the chips and the slightly dry hollow sound of them when tapped. It even has visible lines where the roles were laid side-by-side. That said I've read that even woodchip paper can have asbestos in it.

    Ignorance is bliss. One plasterer was adamant we needed to scrape the artex off before skimming, despite the fact it had tested postive for asbestos.
