As the title says me and ny wife recently bought a house that has artex ceiling (we didn’t know what those were when we bought it).

We didn't like how they looked so we asked a plasterer to come over and see what can be done. We ended up doing the below:

1. Overboarded and skimmed all 3 bedrooms

2. Only skimmed in the hallway.

There were a lot of holes being drilled when puting up the plasterboards, and no precautions were taken. I was present but didn't actively do the drilling. 

I'm now filled with regret and stressed out. We're supposed to move into the property in about 3 weeks but I'm actually afraid of the long term health implications it might have. My wife is also 3 months pregnant so there's that. 

I scheduled for an asbestos survey to be done.

After that I'll book an asbestos air test. I keep thinking I'll have to get the air tested every couple of months.

I'm also planning to buy a HEPA filter and run it from time to time in different rooms. Does anyone know if it will help? Are there more measures I could take to make our future home safer?

I'm devastated, can barely sleep or eat. 

I'm even thinking to start measuring our VO2 max every couple of months to catch any signs early.
