Artex Removal In London And Across Westminster
Tired of Dated Artex? Safe Asbestos Removal for Your London Home or Business
Many properties across London, especially those built or refurbished before the year 2000, often feature textured ceilings or walls coated with Artex. While it might just look like an outdated finish, there's a significant chance that this Artex contains asbestos. If you're looking to update your property, our expert team at Southern Asbestos provides fully insured, HSE-compliant Artex removal services across London, ensuring your space is safe and compliant. For a free, no-obligation quote and friendly advice, call us today on 01753 309625.
It's a common question we get: "Does my Artex contain asbestos?" If your property was built or renovated anytime up to 1999, the answer is often yes. The 'white asbestos' (chrysotile) was a popular addition to textured coatings like Artex due to its strength and fire-resistant qualities. While undisturbed Artex is generally safe, any work that could damage or break it – like drilling, sanding, or scraping – can release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air. Breathing these fibres in poses serious health risks, making professional assessment and removal absolutely crucial. Don't take chances; let our trained team safely identify and remove it.
When it comes to something as serious as asbestos, you need a professional, reliable service right on your doorstep. Southern Asbestos is your local London expert, committed to making your property safe. Our team is fully trained and has years of hands-on experience dealing with all types of non-licensed asbestos materials, including Artex, across countless residential and commercial properties. We hold comprehensive Public Liability Insurance, a valid Waste Carriers Licence, and all our work strictly follows the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). You'll get clear, detailed quotes with no hidden fees, giving you full peace of mind.
Removing asbestos-containing Artex needs a careful, step-by-step approach. Our trained and professional team always puts safety first, from the moment we arrive. Firstly, if you're unsure, we can take a small sample of your Artex for UKAS-accredited laboratory testing to confirm the presence of asbestos. Once confirmed, we then prepare the work area by sealing it off to contain any potential fibres. Using specialist tools and strict procedures, we carefully remove the Artex, sometimes by wet-stripping or careful scraping, depending on the situation. After removal, we meticulously clean the area using HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners, making sure your property is left spotless and completely safe. Every step of this process aims to minimise disruption and maximise safety.
Comprehensive Asbestos Management: Beyond Just Artex Removal
While Artex removal is a key service, our expertise covers a broad range of asbestos solutions for homeowners and businesses in London. If you've got other concerns, we can help. This includes fully compliant asbestos surveys – whether you're buying a new home, managing a commercial building, or planning refurbishment work. We also safely remove other common non-licensed asbestos materials, such as old garage roofs, floor tiles, soffits, and cement panels. Should you have previously removed asbestos waste, we also offer a professional collection and disposal service, providing all the necessary legal paperwork. Our full service means we can manage all your asbestos needs, from initial identification to safe disposal and even reinstatement works.
