Artex, a popular decorative finish for ceilings and walls for decades, often contained white asbestos fibres to enhance its durability and texture. While perfectly safe when undisturbed, any drilling, sanding, or scraping of asbestos-containing Artex can release microscopic fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can pose serious health risks over time. If your Bourne property was built or refurbished before 2000 and features textured coatings, it’s always best to assume the presence of asbestos until proven otherwise. We specialise in identifying and safely managing these materials, making us your local experts for Bourne asbestos concerns.

Our approach to asbestos Artex removal in Bourne is meticulous and designed for your complete peace of mind. The process begins with artex testing; a trained surveyor will safely collect a small sample of the suspect material from your property. This sample is then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, providing you with a definitive answer and formal certificate. Should asbestos be confirmed, we then proceed with: * Preparation: We carefully seal off the work area using specialist containment methods to prevent any fibre spread within your home. * Safe Removal: Our highly trained team, equipped with advanced safety gear, delicately remove the Artex or other textured coatings following strict Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. This includes both licensed removal for higher-risk materials and non-licensed asbestos removal where applicable. * Thorough Clean-up: After removal, we conduct a meticulous clean-up of the area using specialist HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners. * Air Testing (Optional/Required): For higher-risk projects, independent asbestos air testing can be arranged to confirm the air quality is safe for reoccupation. * Responsible Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, transported in licensed vehicles, and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities, with full documentation provided for asbestos disposal compliance.
