  • I had the textured ceiling coatings in my flat tested for asbestos by a firm. Pretty cheap, albeit not in London. Gave me peace of mind for drilling and cutting etc.

    No-one can definitively say what it's made of from a photo, in any situation. It must be tested.

  • Of course not. But someone asked a question about what it's on, and I'm still hoping for a recommendation from someone on where good to get it tested. Or I'll start calling around tomorrow. Like I said, not sure I trust some of these identical testing kits online.

  • Good stuff. Didn't mean to imply any lack of knowledge on your part, apologies. I used a company in Scotland, and it doesn't look like they have other offices. But for reference, they charged £80 for the visit and sample collection, plus £15 per sample tested in the lab. Plus VAT. So basically very cheap. This was about 3 years ago.
