3. Artex and aspestos
|
Artex applied prior to the mid 1970s may contain asbestos. Generally speaking you should not sand it, knock off the high bits or try to remove it yourself. It should be tested before being removed or damaged in any way as it is a potential health risk. If you are unsure make sure to consult a professional.
