Anyone had their Artex ceilings tested for asbestos?
Yes. They did, along with the textured paint on just about every wall. Paid for a proper tester, wasn't earth shatteringly expensive and wanted to know exactly what we were dealing with.
Ended up just plastering over it all, certain precautions to avoid when drilling into it but generally leave it as undisturbed as possible.
Make sure people you get to deal with it properly - one plaster who quoted for us suggested scraping it all flat (!)
