Long story but having twins is eating my mancave space so my garage will be getting converted into a room and I'm making frankengarage / shed thing in the back garden out of an old concrete pebble dash effect sectional garage.
This weekend me and the brother in law dismantled it and the panels are now in my back garden.
We were careful taking the roof off but I’m having bad thoughts that we’ve shifted a lot of asbestos sheets…
One of my mates says it’s not and its concrete fibre board and not to worry about it.
We had masks on to take it down but to get it in the back of my people carrier (VW Sharan we broke it up into pieces without masks on. I chucked a big damp proof membrane sheet in the back of the car then headed to the tip.
Bloke said we couldn’t tip it unless it was pre-booked in by the council.
The sheets themselves had some writing on the underside of it and looked pretty OK.
I’m worried that dust will be everywhere in the car and maybe we’ve breathed some in.
Am I panicking over nothing?

Very likely to be cement with a chrysotile content. Looking at the underside, the pattern would indicate they are not, but without testing, its a guessing game.
Cheers for that. Best get my car cleaned out properly then Well suppose time will tell its done now. Made a note of it in my calendar and will be off to the docs if anything untoward happens.
