Artex was a popular choice for ceilings and walls due to its versatility and ease of application. However, until the late 1990s, many Artex products contained white asbestos (chrysotile) for its fire-retardant and strengthening properties. The fibres within asbestos are microscopic and, if inhaled, can lead to severe respiratory diseases, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer, often many years after exposure. This is why it's crucial to treat any suspect textured coating with extreme caution and never attempt to disturb it yourself. Our experts in Scunthorpe can perform professional testing to confirm the presence of asbestos, allowing you to make informed decisions about its removal.

When it comes to asbestos Artex removal, safety and compliance are our top priorities. Our highly trained and certified specialists follow a rigorous process designed to protect your home and everyone within it. It begins with a careful assessment and, if necessary, professional testing via a UKAS-accredited laboratory to confirm asbestos content. Once confirmed, we establish a controlled work area, often involving full containment and air management. The Artex is then safely and meticulously removed, with thorough clean-up protocols. Post-removal, we conduct stringent air monitoring to ensure the area is completely clear of hazardous fibres before issuing a reoccupation certificate. All hazardous waste is legally transported and disposed of according to strict environmental regulations, providing you with full documentation and disposal notes.
