Many homes built or refurbished before the year 2000, including those in Bushey, might have textured coatings like Artex. While Artex itself isn't harmful, it often contains white asbestos (chrysotile), a material now known to pose serious health risks if disturbed. If your Artex is flaking, damaged, or you're planning any DIY work, it is important to know if asbestos is present.

• Free Advice & Initial Chat: Unsure if you have Artex with asbestos? Our friendly team can chat through your concerns and guide you on the best next steps.
• Asbestos Testing for Peace of Mind: If you suspect you have Artex that contains asbestos, do not touch it. Our expert team can safely take a small sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory. You'll get a definitive result and a certificate, letting you know exactly what you are dealing with. We regularly test materials like textured coatings (Artex) on ceilings and walls.
• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a property in Bushey? An essential survey identifies potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks before you commit.

When Artex containing asbestos needs removing, you want it done right. Our team specialises in safe, non-licensed asbestos removal, particularly from homes. We follow strict procedures to protect your property and health.

1. Preparation: We seal off the work area using plastic sheeting and air management techniques to stop any fibres from spreading. We lay down protective coverings to keep your home clean.
2. Careful Removal: Our trained technicians, wearing specialist personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), meticulously remove the Artex. We use dampening methods to keep dust levels to an absolute minimum.
3. Thorough Clean-up: After removal, we use specialist H-Type vacuum cleaners and wet-wipe techniques to ensure every trace of dust is gone.
4. Safe Disposal: All removed Artex waste is double-bagged, sealed, and clearly labelled. We then transport it in a dedicated vehicle to a licensed hazardous waste facility. You get all the legal paperwork (Hazardous Waste Consignment Note) for your records.
   We aim for minimal disruption while keeping your Bushey home safe and compliant.
