Loose Fill Asbestos

[Gavin Millar]

Any one with extensive knowledge of lose fill asbestos that could give me and idea of I should be getting this tested?

Not a huge amount of lose full insulation in the UK contains asbestos, but there is some, so I'd get it tested, not worth the risk, especially as it's only about £20 to get a sample tested (in my area at least).

More likely, but no guarantee, that it's blown in fire retardent recycled paper.

************** If in doubt, get it tested. ***************

or something called vermiculite ( or some such name). best get it tested to be sure,

That's definately not vermiculite

Do a few loft conversions, as per @snowhead it looks like newspaper......if you look closely and carefully you’ll probably be able to see small sections of newspaper, loose fill not common in uk and especially in domestic settings

Looks like blown Rockwall from the 70's but get it test to confirm.
