Asbestos sheet in ceiling
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.15 PM
I may have an asbestos sheet ceiling in one room . Rather than removal , can new plasterboard be stuck over it using dry wall adhesive and then plastered ? Thanks .
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

I'll use expanding foam to fit plasterboard over the asbestos. The foam fill up any gap, crack, split and grab like nothing else.

As far as I'm aware, your suggestion is the best method of doing it. Although you may have to make yourself a few props to hold up the sheet overnight whilst the adhesive goes off. Have you considered another fixing method? If you're in any doubt of your safety then you should get in touch with an asbestos specialist!
