Artex was incredibly popular for decorating ceilings and walls, especially between the 1970s and 1990s. Many of these textured coatings contained white asbestos (chrysotile) to strengthen them. As long as the Artex remains undisturbed and in good condition, it generally poses a low risk. However, if you plan to sand, drill, scrape, or remove it, you could release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to serious lung diseases years later. That's why professional assessment and removal are so vital.

We follow a strict, proven procedure to ensure the safest possible removal of Artex from your Maidenhead property:

1. Initial Assessment & Testing: If you suspect Artex contains asbestos, we can take a small sample for laboratory analysis. This confirms the presence and type of asbestos.
2. Preparation & Containment: Before any work starts, we prepare the area by sealing it off. This creates a secure zone, preventing any fibres from spreading to other parts of your home or business. We use specialist equipment to maintain negative pressure.
3. Careful Removal: Our trained team carefully removes the Artex, often by wetting it first to minimise dust. We use specialised tools and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE).
4. Thorough Clean-up & Air Monitoring: After removal, we meticulously clean the area using HEPA-filtered vacuums. We can also arrange for independent air monitoring to confirm the area is clear of fibres and safe to reoccupy.
5. Secure Disposal: All asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed, and transported by us to a licensed hazardous waste facility, complete with all the required legal documentation.
6. Reinstatement (Optional): Once the Artex is gone, we can help you get your space back to normal by replastering or preparing surfaces for redecoration.
