Textured wall - asbestos risk?

[SamCurtis95]

Hi everyone, I’m a bit paranoid about asbestos, and I’m living in this apartment - looks to be around mid80s - with a texture on most of the walls (although not ceilings) and the built-in cupboards and shelves. It’s mostly in good condition, but there are a few damaged bits. Do you reckon it’s a risk?
Thanks!

The only way to be positive is to take a sample and get it tested.

You can post a sample off, consider it asbestos until you hear otherwise.

Is it your gaff ? if not ask landlord, it does not look like the naughty stuff, if in doubt just paint it with gloss paint and finish it with whatever . chking
