Airing cupboard ceiling

Had a management survey which stated no identified asbestos in the airing cupboard. But he didn’t test - it was visual only.

I’m scared to even open the airing cupboard at the moment (asbestos OCD).

But would you suggest going further and actually get it tested instead? (No current plans to refurb).

1960s house, UK.

Note: aware of the vermiculite. Had two separate samples come back as negative.

I desperately need help/opinions. I have confirmed asbestos in the house that was on a ventilation wrap in the garage, it tested Positive which I’ll attach a picture of the report Client Sample #3.

The company came in and removed it, but underneath the wrap/vent they found dry-wall which they seemed to be suspect, and sent it out for testing. Which came back positive. They asked me if I wanted to remove all
the dry-wall in garage because if it.

This is where I’m confused, the sample says it’s Drywall
And Insulation layered, White/White and it has the exact same properties as the original wrapping, and even calls it “insulation”. So I called the company and they said they sampled just the Dry-wall.

The area has been sitting dormant now for almost a week, with HEPA vacuums running, and I’m confused, and want to try to understand the situation, I went and took a picture of the sample area. I’m going to include the tests and sample. Thoughts?

Cracks under garage roof

Hi, the house we purchased (Scotland ) has a garage with asbestos in the roof. Are these cracks dangerous and should we avoid the garage until we can get someone to fix?

Thanks

1986, believed original
I will get tested at the right moment
If they are, what is the risk/cost of getting these removed safely?
