Asbestos use and regulations changed significantly from the 1960s to the late 1990s and varied from country to country. It is possible that asbestos is present in the ceiling of a garage built in 1991. To check whether this is the case, you will need to have the material inspected and tested by someone with the appropriate qualifications. This will depend on the regulations in your area, and could be a specialised laboratory tester, a certified inspector or a certified asbestos contractor. Contact your local authority for advice and for a list of people qualified to assess your material. Do not remove or disturb any material until given an all-clear by the inspector.
