Artex and other similar textured coatings were widely used in properties throughout the UK up until the late 1990s. While not all Artex contains asbestos, many early formulations did, utilising asbestos to add strength and texture. Undisturbed, asbestos-containing artex generally poses a low risk. However, any disturbance, such as drilling, sanding, or scraping during renovation, can release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to serious lung diseases years later. This is why professional asbestos artex removal is not just recommended, but essential for protecting your health and the well-being of your family or employees in Kimberley.

You cannot identify asbestos in artex by sight alone. The only way to be certain is through professional testing. Asbestos In Homes offers fast, safe, and accurate artex testing services for properties in Kimberley. Our trained and certified surveyors will carefully take a small sample of the suspect material, which is then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This accreditation ensures the highest standards of accuracy and reliability for your results. Once the presence of asbestos is confirmed (or ruled out), we will provide you with a detailed report and discuss the safest and most effective options for managing or removing the material, tailored to your specific situation.
