Can you be sure of that as asbestos was not banned in this county until 1999. This is still not enough to guarantee the stuff wasn't still used in products illegally soon after this time. The only way to be sure I suppose is to have it tested.

There is a vast amount of contradictory advice and asbestos. The only why to be sure it to have it tested.

That said, I understand that it is very likely that artex manufactured within the last 25 years will not contain asbestos.
