I've learnt it's fine to leave in situ if it's in good condition but definitely call in the professionals if you're going to remove or drill into it at all.

The whole front facade on the right side is as well but we are leaving it well alone as it is in good condition. It was a relief to discover that only the ceiling in the 4th bedroom is suspected asbestos, the rest are genuine horsehair plaster. mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-37343432421324290062012-11-26T18:57:20.703+10:002012-11-26T18:57:20.703+10:00Well said, very well said!
