Artex was incredibly popular in homes built or refurbished before the year 2000, particularly between the 1960s and 1990s. The problem is, many Artex coatings applied during those years contain white asbestos (chrysotile). While undisturbed Artex is generally safe, disturbing it through drilling, sanding, or scraping can release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air. Breathing these fibres in can lead to serious lung diseases many years later. This is why attempting to remove it yourself without proper training and equipment is highly risky. Our trained team knows exactly how to safely identify, contain, and remove Artex, giving you complete peace of mind.

We make sure Artex removal is as simple and safe as possible for you. Here’s how we do it:

1. Initial Survey & Testing: If you suspect Artex, the first step is to confirm it contains asbestos. We can take a small sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This gives you a definitive answer.
2. Detailed Plan: Once confirmed, we create a specific removal plan, detailing the methods, safety measures, and disposal strategy tailored to your property.
3. Controlled Removal: Our technicians set up a sealed work area, often using plastic sheeting and air filtration units, to prevent any fibre spread. They wear specialist personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE).
4. Careful Removal: We carefully wet the Artex to minimise dust and then gently scrape or remove the material using specialist tools.
5. Thorough Clean-up: After removal, we conduct a meticulous clean-up using H-type vacuum cleaners designed for asbestos. The area is left spotless and safe.
6. Certified Disposal: All removed Artex waste is double-bagged, sealed, and transported under a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note to a licensed asbestos disposal facility. You'll get all the necessary paperwork for your records.
