Hello,
I have read that old plaster walls can contain asbestos. Should I be concerned if I only occasionally drill a hole in the wall or ceiling?
To be honest, I have never really thought about it before.
Kind regards,
Basti

Worry more about not drilling into your finger while doing it 😉

Then don’t start now. You already seem to have a panic about asbestos.
I haven’t heard of asbestos being in plaster, but it can’t be completely ruled out. However, the small amount you might inhale while drilling won’t make you sick.

Since you have asked so often in the past few days, I would recommend a building expert who specializes in this area.
