We are currently redecorating and decided to remove the coving in our hallway and landing, when doing this my husband also removed an Artex ceiling. After chisilling at it and removing, I sweeped it all up and vacuumed it up. We then informed the Artex may contain asbestos. We got it tested and it came back positive. The asbestos specialist we spoke to assured us that it was a very low percentage used in Artex and that we would be absolutely fine and with windows open it would have blown out. However I am still panicking, we have two children who were in the house at the time. We have removed the carpet in the hallway, stairs and landing but I'm just so worried. Do we need to leave the house? Do we need to get rid of every soft furnishings?
