Many properties in City Of Westminster, particularly those built before 2000, had Artex applied to ceilings and walls. Back then, asbestos was a common additive, chosen for its strength and fire resistance. The problem arises when this Artex is disturbed. Sanding, drilling, or even just old, flaking Artex can release tiny asbestos fibres into the air. Breathing these in can lead to serious lung diseases years down the line. It's not worth the risk, which is why a professional assessment and removal service is often required. Understanding these types of health risks helps you make an informed decision for your property.

Removing asbestos-containing Artex isn't a DIY job; it needs a highly controlled, professional approach. When you choose Southern Asbestos for your Westminster property, our trained team follows a strict, step-by-step process. First, we carefully prepare the work area, sealing it off to prevent any fibre spread. We use specialist equipment, including air filtration, and our technicians wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The Artex materials are then carefully wetted down to minimise dust, removed with precision, and double-bagged. Finally, we conduct a thorough clean-up and air monitoring if needed, leaving your space safe and clear. We take every precaution to ensure the work is done safely.

While Artex might be your immediate concern, it's often a good idea to check for other potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your property. Southern Asbestos provides a full range of asbestos surveys in City Of Westminster. Whether you're a homeowner needing a Home Buyer Asbestos Survey before a purchase, a business owner meeting legal duties with a Management Survey, or planning renovation work that requires a Refurbishment & Demolition Survey, our professional team can help. If you've just found a suspicious material, we can also take a safe sample and send it for UKAS-accredited laboratory testing, giving you a definitive answer.
