Artex was a popular choice for decorative finishes in homes across Adwick Le Street and the UK for many decades. While it provided an attractive finish, a significant number of these textured coatings applied before the year 2000 incorporated white asbestos (chrysotile) to enhance durability and texture. As long as the Artex remains undisturbed and in good condition, the risk is generally low. However, any disturbance – such as drilling, sanding, scraping, or even water damage – can release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to serious lung diseases, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer, often many years after exposure. This is why professional handling is absolutely crucial when dealing with asbestos-containing textured coatings in your Adwick Le Street property.

At Asbestos In Homes, we follow a stringent, multi-step process to ensure the safe and effective removal of asbestos Artex from your Adwick Le Street property. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.

• Initial Asbestos Testing & Survey: Before any work begins, our trained surveyors will visit your Adwick Le Street home to safely take samples of the suspect material. These samples are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate analysis, providing you with a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos. This crucial step ensures we only proceed with removal if asbestos is confirmed.
• Safe Containment & Preparation: Once asbestos is confirmed, our expert team establishes a fully sealed and contained work area within your Adwick Le Street home. This includes using plastic sheeting, negative pressure units, and air filtration systems to prevent any asbestos fibres from spreading to other areas of your property during the removal process.
• Meticulous Removal: Using specialised tools and techniques, our highly trained professionals carefully wet and remove the asbestos-containing textured coating. This 'wet removal' method minimises airborne fibre release, adhering strictly to Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
• Thorough Clean-Up & Air Monitoring: After removal, the area undergoes a rigorous clean-up process, including HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping, to eliminate any remaining fibres. For higher-risk removals, we arrange for independent, UKAS-accredited air testing to confirm the air is safe for reoccupation. We want you to feel completely confident returning to your Adwick Le Street home.
• Legal Asbestos Disposal: All asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed, and legally transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility. We provide you with all the necessary waste consignment notes, giving you full documentation and reassurance that the hazardous material has been handled and disposed of responsibly.
