Agreed. But this applies to all airborne dust, from silica, wood, MDF, asbestos, gypsum, lime, lead, that if inhaled would be bad for one’s health. Everyone should think about that before starting major work or getting tradesmen in.
We also have to do anthrax testing on old plaster walls before demo / hard strip as part of our enabling works at the Palace..
sanding artex would be a disaster regardless of asbestos or not.
