My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
