Hi Spark123, I had a word with my electrician regarding your comments about the new consumer unit. I won't print everything he said, as there could be children reading this. But his main point was the each of the curcuits is protected by an RCBO and this meets all relevant regs.

For information regarding Asbestos check out the link below. http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/index.htm If there is an Asbestos content in your Artex any form of removal could release fibres that are to small to be seen by the naked eye.
