Artex was a widely popular decorative finish for ceilings and walls, but unfortunately, many formulations contained chrysotile (white) asbestos, included for its strength and fire-resistant properties. This asbestos textured coating becomes a health hazard if disturbed – perhaps through drilling, scraping, or sanding – as it can release microscopic fibres. Inhaling these fibres can lead to serious respiratory diseases. For homeowners in Newark-On-Trent, understanding this risk is the first step. We strongly advise against disturbing any suspect material yourself. Instead, allow our professionals to assess and manage the potential danger, ensuring your home is secure from this hidden threat.

If you suspect the textured coating in your Newark-On-Trent property might contain asbestos, the only definitive way to know is through professional artex testing. Our process is straightforward, safe, and accurate. A trained and certified surveyor from Asbestos In Homes will visit your property to carefully take a small sample of the suspected material. This sample is then securely transported to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for thorough analysis. You will receive a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos fibres. This initial asbestos survey step is crucial for making informed decisions about any future works and ensuring safe artex removal if asbestos is identified.
