Artex ceilings and Asbestos

Just seen this thread and now worried. We have a 1965 house. Have recently had a loft conversion, the ceiling in our bedroom was pulled down and left like it for weeks then plastered over, then had ceiling in all bedrooms landing hall and living room replastered. All were Artex. The living room and upstairs has pointy bits, plasterer glued the ceiling then scraped pointy bits off then skimmed over. How much danger are we in if breathing in asbestos fibres for years on end? None of the tradesmen mentioned asbestos or wore masks. I had no idea

Hi Meredith 99. Just wondering how you have got on ? I know this is an old post but just wondering if you got in touch with the builders that did the work.
