Default Asbestos - Something to think about

My friend recently had water coming in through the roof and into the
bathroom. The ceiling was only very slightly damaged.
The insurance company sent someone to repair the roof and then they sent
someone to do a test on the artex that was on the ceiling. The house, ex
local authority, he has lived there from build, has only been built about
30 years and it was artexed from new. The results were that the artex
contained a small amount of asbestos.
Result, the insurance company are sending a special team round to rip all
the ceiling down, then someone is going round to put a new ceiling up and do
all the plastering, then someone else is going to do the wallpapering.
My friend was told that if a house is over a certain age then where artex is
involved, they have to by law have it checked.
Anyone heard of this before.....?
