A survey has mentioned asbestos
You need to understand what was observed, what remains uncertain and whether further investigation is recommended.
Suspect materials, surveys and renovation
Asbestos surveys, testing & removal
Work out whether you need a survey, sampling or a removal specialist, while avoiding unnecessary disturbance of suspect materials.
Asbestos cannot be confirmed reliably by sight alone. If a survey, planned renovation or damaged material has raised a concern, the safest first step is to leave it undisturbed and establish what evidence and professional assessment the situation requires.

Avoid touching or sampling it yourself and get advice on safe assessment, management or removal.
