I bought a house recently where one of the ceilings as a stipple effect.

I wanted to get it plastered and started scraping it down tonight to get it ready for plastering.

I read various instructions for getting it down, but just saw now that it may contain asbestos.

I didn't spend much time at it, only an hour or two, but quite freaked out about it as I would have inhaled quite a bit of the dust.

Does anyone know how I would get the roof material tested for asbestos?

How old is house? Afaik asbestos was not in stipple from the 80s, Maybe wrong!

These will do a sample test. It will cost from 150 euro I think.
