Asbestos

[Hanch123]

Hi guys, had a simple job fitting an inline fan today, I drilled a pilot hole in the sofit and I'm a bit concerned its asbestos, it's painted white although the actual material is a grey/blue colour and not very easy to drill. I only had a crappy paper mask and didn't want to risk it, I've not had much experience with asbestos, am I right in thinking it might be as I've heard it can be a common thing on sofit boards?

Many years ago I sanded down five ceilings of rather aged-looking artex. Fine dust everywhere, didn't half make me cough. Hmmmmm.... :/

Couple of different types of it, we came across it the other day in oil tank store rooms, weeny sure so asked for a register with premises officer and it said in book the tiles on roof were asbestos but didn't mention ceiling, but the guy we met that morning for meeting said il have look il know and it was a mild one. Anyway no drilling. Job on hold now
