I want to work in the garage, so can I have it plastered over, or does
it need to be removed completely?
A very nice old neighbour told me I should let sleeping dogs lie.
But then, I don't think he wants to tinker about in his garage.

It's only a hazard if it's releasing fibres. As long as it stays intact it's ok. Paint or plaster help seal it up.

You want gluing ablity & waterproofness so it stays there. Bitumen, household gloss.

It's an internal ceiling, not actual roof covering exposed to the
