That classic swirly or stippled finish known as Artex was incredibly popular in homes and commercial buildings up until the late 1990s. The catch? Many of these textured coatings contained asbestos fibres to strengthen them. If left undisturbed and in good condition, Artex poses a low risk. However, if it gets damaged, drilled, sanded, or removed incorrectly, it can release dangerous asbestos dust into the air. Breathing in these fibres can lead to serious health issues years down the line. We always recommend getting it professionally checked if you're planning any work or just want to know for sure. It's a small step that makes a huge difference to your health and safety.

Once confirmed, our trained technicians prepare the area meticulously, creating a sealed environment to prevent fibre release. We then carefully remove the Artex material, adhering to strict safety protocols.

We manage the entire process, including legal disposal of the hazardous waste, meaning you don't have to worry about a thing.
