My garage was built 32 years ago and the ceiling is just regular plasterboard. However when I wanted to cut an access hatch in it to make use of the roof space above for storing junk, the local council specified an asbestos substitute (maybe Asbestolux) as a covering for the trapdoor as it needed to be fire retardant. New builds in the early 80's were well aware of asbestos related problems.
