Hi everyone.
I just wondered if anyone could help or offer any advice?
Im in a massive panic and really struggling with anxiety.
We live a house that was built in 1995. About 6/7 years ago we had a flood in our loft from the boiler. One of the plumbers that came to fix it ended up putting his foot through the ceiling that is in my little ones built in wardrobe. All the ceilingings upstairs have artex on them. Therefore he had a big hole in his ceiling and a lot of the artex came down going all over his clothes and all in the wardrobe.
We still haven't sorted this out, just put a board over it in the loft. I've only just found out that there is a possibility that the ceilings could contain asbestos. He still has the hole and the artex his hanging off. The kids also play in there sometimes playing hid and seek.
We have sent off for a kit to test it but I'm beyond panicking that my child has been sleeping in a room for all of these years and also had clothing that could have had fibers on it. I can't remember if I washed them at the time.
I've moved him out of the room until the test is done but I'm so worried it's too little too late.
Does anyone know the likely hood that the artex will contain aspestos. It's a David Wilson Homes house built in 1995.
Any help or advice with be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
