Many homes built before the year 2000, particularly those from the 1950s to the 1990s, often feature textured coatings like Artex. For years, asbestos was a common additive in these materials because of its strengthening properties. If your textured ceiling or wall coating contains asbestos and gets disturbed – perhaps during decorating, drilling, or renovation work – it can release dangerous fibres into the air. Breathing these fibres in poses serious health risks. Don't take chances; if you suspect your Artex contains asbestos, it's always best to get professional advice and testing.

When you choose Southern Asbestos for Artex removal, you're opting for a service focused on safety and thoroughness. Our trained team follows strict procedures to manage this hazardous material. We start by carefully containing the work area, preventing any fibre spread. Using specialist equipment and techniques, we then safely remove the Artex. Every step complies with HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. After removal, we meticulously clean the area, ensuring your property is left safe and clear. We handle all asbestos waste responsibly, taking it to a licensed hazardous waste facility, and provide you with all the required legal paperwork.

While Artex removal is a key service, Southern Asbestos offers a full range of non-licensed asbestos solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial properties in Warlingham and throughout Surrey. This includes vital services like:

• Asbestos Surveys: From home buyer surveys to legally required management, refurbishment, and demolition surveys, we identify where asbestos might be lurking.
• Asbestos Testing: If you’ve found a material you think is asbestos, we can safely take a sample for UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis, giving you a definitive answer.
• Other Asbestos Removals: We safely remove common asbestos-containing materials such as garage roofs, shed panels, soffits, fascias, floor tiles, and pipe insulation.
• Asbestos Collection & Disposal: If you've already removed asbestos safely yourself (following strict guidelines), we offer a compliant collection and disposal service.
• Encapsulation & Reinstatement: Where appropriate, we can seal asbestos materials to prevent fibre release, and after removal, we offer reinstatement work to restore your property.
