Does Artex contain asbestos?
It can. Textured coatings such as Artex had small amounts of chrysotile (white asbestos) added until the mid-1980s, and asbestos use was fully banned in the UK in 1999. Any textured coating applied before 2000 should be tested before it is disturbed. Many coatings test negative, but you cannot tell by looking.
