Ideally, I want to cut these redundant pipes out. I’m pretty sure this is hair felt insulation but I’m a sparky by trade so not familiar with pipe lagging. I do know pipe lagging often contained asbestos and as the house was built in 1890 and sporadically worked on ever since… could do with some advice. Can anyone identify this? Am I ok to just cut it off? Thanks in advance!

Looks like hair felt but if in doubt get it tested 20-30 quid normally
 
Any doubts you can get a kit online to take a sample. Better safe than sorry.
 
Best to be air on the side of caution this does look like hair felt but a property as old as yours will no doubt have asbestos some where , wear your PPE when working and if you suspect there's any get it tested protect yourself and the family. Kop
