has anyone come across this
went round to a house to quote for a job kitchen walls covered in artex some of which had started to bouble and come away from the walls, he said the council had been round and told him the artex was leaking asbestos and he should get it sorted straight away (its a council house and they wont do nothing untill next year!!)
the walls are going to have to be scraped back to get rid of the loose artex but does this mean asbestos will be released into the air
i dont want to go in and just skim over the stuff have a feeling the artex would come away and peel off in sheets with the skim if l do that
Any ideas :-[ :-[
