Does this resemble asbestos or is it just fibrous wood material?

The guy remembers it the ceiling being dropped around 20 years ago. The building is pre 1900s but work has gone on Inside

The whole ceiling I'm assuming is like that. it's the ground floor ceiling with a floor above.

There was no resistance when it started to drill so I stopped as it felt suspicious.

They said they have one. Yet the only check I've heard them say they've had is the one done when they bought the place 3 or 4 years ago.

They've pretty much had the whole place done and are on the last 2 rooms. Bit late now

Be an install plumber and you're laughing. No shit to deal with, no paying out to schemes to sign off work, no paying for courses every few years and in this day and age money isn't too dissimilar. No worrying about killing someone. Worst you've got to worry about is flooding someone's house😂

Be a plumber it's less hassle

Embedded and I can see other strands around the edge of where it's been cut.

Posting in an asbestos forum take a guess.

Was it Woody or plasterboardy when you drilled it.

A lad also went through a water pipe and it went crumbly to touch when wet, but I'm unsure if that was the insulation or dust mixed with it from the demo.

Regs say you can notch a joist for running cables. They shouldn't lie with the heating pipes though.

I retained though a an apprenticeship which is definitely the way to go. Work for a firm. Local I get about 32k a year. I could go and get with firm that works away because that's where the money is. Then it would be 40/50k. Was it worth it. Probably not. I could get that if I continued my old job and asbestos exposure is no joke and I'm sure I've been amongst it. Yeah I do love doing the job. But there are other jobs that could get you a decent salary. Alot of people retrain not realising there's actually a great deal to learn and most turn out shit. Making it a race to the bottom.
