Artex (with asbestos) removal from concrete ceiling

Hi, I've had a company in to remove Artex (with asbestos) from the concrete ceilings in my flat. Most of the surface of the ceilings have been left with a thin white layer of what looks like paint which they haven't been able to scrape off. But they've said not to worry because what's left doesn't contain asbestos. I'm not expert but I imagine that what's left on the ceiling is Artex and therefore it still contains asbestos. So, when it comes to plastering the ceiling, will it be possible to do so over this residue? My concern is that if the ceiling needs sanding before plastering to get rid of the white stuff, it could be an issue as the white stuff may still contain asbestos. I hope I've made myself clear. Thanks
