    You are right that the artex is likely to contain asbestos but it is not necessarily the case that white asbestos is safe.

    I would not disturb it around my kids.

    We'll get tests done SHS, it wasn't sitting right with me either. I was going to ask you what you would do when you returned to the thread :)

    I think they advise to get tests done by a company who don't also do removal.

    Tests will be DIY and sent to a UKAS lab (I'll be wearing full PPE and no doubt looking very silly) :rotfl:

    ...and £2,000 of credit card bills just went out!!! Less than £10,000 of 0% debt to go :rotfl:
