Hi, my father has just removed the wooden gas fireplace in our house based in the UK, the house is an old council house. I am worried about the risk of asbestos exposure, and so I have attached a picture hoping it will describe the situation to see if there exist asbestos in the hole that was left behind after the removal of the fireplace. Thank you very much.
