Did not think asbestos came in any form other than solid , scratch that I think old industrial ovens had asbestos seals on them but they look more ropey with a cross weave pattern. Yours looks like old fashioned fibre lagging. Put a mask on and gloves on cut a tiny bit off and try to burn it. if it is asbestos it won't burn at all. Better still call a pro in to assess it to make sure. I got some asbesto bits and the council will take it away for £61, so job done. Safety first!

wet it first,this will at least stop any particles getting into the air.i don't think it looks like asbestos either,i recently took out something similar from a loft.
I DON'T THINK ITS ASBESTOS M8 its normally flakey looks like ROCKWALL IMHO
BUT WHAT THEY USE AT WORK IS PVA GLUE WATERED DOWN
THAT MAKES IT SAFE TO REMOVE
def not asbestos its felt pipe lagging you can still get it.![]()
asbestos lagging is like plaster. that looks to me a bit like fibreglass lagging maybe?
wear a decent mask 2 b sure tho. u never know.
i've come across asbestos bath panels before![]()
Dodgy advice all of the above, just written a report on asbestos (not that im saying that makes me an expert), just because it may look like rockwool doesnt mean it is. Asbestos comes in 3 mains types and can be anything from sheets to a spray applied coating so not nessecarily (sorry spelling) appearing to be flakey, if i were you id leave it well alone and get someone in, if you have all ready removed it, wet it through to minimise air-bourne particles and put it in clear plastic bags, you may need a licence to dispose of it at a tip. The fact its plastic coated implies even more that asbestos may be present.
Better to be safe than sorry IMO!

dodgy advise,but not the bit about wetting it first ! i've worked on a lot of big sites where the so-called experts who came in to remove the asbestos were the worst for leaving bit's of it everywhere,while getting paid a fortune.
Viz style top tip... Breath a big handful of it in and wait 15 years. If after this period you become easily short of breath and weaze a lot... Then its probably asbestos.
Or just ring the Enviromental Health if you are in a Hurry.

If you cant fix it with a hammer, use a bigger one!!
If you're not sure, then leave well alone and call the experts. Its more likely to be rockwool, but you can never be certain.
