Artex, a popular decorative coating, was widely used in UK homes and commercial buildings up until the late 1990s. The challenge is, much of this Artex applied before the year 2000 contains asbestos fibres. Disturbing this material – perhaps through drilling, sanding, or demolition – can release microscopic asbestos dust into the air. Breathing in these fibres poses serious long-term health risks. That's why it's crucial to get a professional team to assess and, if needed, safely remove Artex. We help you stay safe and meet all UK health and safety guidelines.

Removing asbestos-containing Artex isn't a DIY job; it requires specific expertise and adherence to strict safety procedures. Our fully trained team follows a clear, methodical process to keep everyone safe. First, we carefully assess the Artex to confirm its composition. Next, we meticulously prepare and seal off the work area to prevent any fibre spread. Using specialised equipment, our experts then gently remove the Artex material. Every piece of asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed, and transported under a valid Waste Carriers Licence to a licensed hazardous waste facility for responsible disposal. Finally, we thoroughly clean the area, making sure your property is left spotless and safe.
