Many homes and commercial properties across Knottingley feature decorative textured ceilings or walls, commonly known as Artex. While aesthetically popular in past decades, a significant proportion of these coatings, particularly those applied before the year 2000, contain white asbestos fibres. When undisturbed, Artex is generally safe, but any plans for renovation, drilling, or removal can release these microscopic fibres, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It’s crucial to treat any suspect Artex in your Knottingley property with caution and seek expert advice.

The only definitive way to confirm if your Knottingley property's Artex contains asbestos is through professional testing. We offer a fast, safe, and reliable artex testing service. Our highly trained surveyors will carefully collect a small sample from the textured coating, ensuring minimal disturbance to your home. This sample is then dispatched to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for thorough analysis. Once the results are back, you’ll receive a formal certificate outlining whether asbestos fibres are present, allowing you to make informed decisions about your property. This initial step is vital for your peace of mind and is often part of a broader asbestos surveys process for commercial clients.

Once asbestos is confirmed in your Artex, our team at Asbestos In Homes is ready to carry out its safe disposal and asbestos artex removal. As licensed asbestos services providers operating in Knottingley, we adhere to the strictest Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. Our process involves:
