Asbestos concern - not in the trade

[Sharkybhoy]

Hi Guys
I’m not in your trade but I have an issue with some damage to walls in a building I work in.
Part of wall has come down and it’s taking an age to get fixed.
Can you advise if you think this is plaster board or asbestos?
Appreciate the help to keep my mind at rest as the wall seems to deteriorate when water comes in.

Does it taste like asbestos or gypsum?

Looks like house martins nesting! Try not to move the nest or disturb it’s not asbestos it’s bird s**t! Can be equally dangerous do the taste test as mentioned above
