Is it safe to overboard asbestos artex?
We have a few Asbestos Artex ceilings which we want smoothing as they're cracking, we had a quote from a plasterer and they said we'd need to overboard because the cracks will come through if skimmed. I'm just concerned about drilling into the Artex when putting up the plasterboard or finding the joists, is this safe to do?

Used to do this a lot for Cardiff council ..
there’s different grades of aspestos.. there is a company that can call out to test the artex but other than that overboard ceiling but wear a good mask when bashing through to find where the joists are.. and keep windows open and doors shut
