For residents in Selby, it is important to know that Artex was a very popular decorative finish for ceilings and walls for decades. While newer versions are asbestos-free, older applications—especially those installed before 2000—very likely contain white asbestos (chrysotile). When Artex is in good condition and undisturbed, the risk is generally low. However, any activity like drilling, sanding, scraping, or even water damage can release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. Inhalation of these fibres can lead to severe lung diseases, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, often many years later. This is precisely why professional assessment and removal by licensed specialists are absolutely crucial for any suspect Artex in your Selby property.

At Asbestos in Homes, our meticulous approach ensures the safe and efficient removal of asbestos Artex from your Selby property. Our comprehensive service begins with an initial inspection and safe sampling of the suspect material. This sample is then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate testing, confirming the presence and type of asbestos. Once confirmed, our highly trained specialists plan the removal process, which includes: * Containment: Establishing a sealed work area to prevent fibre spread throughout your home or business. * Air Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of the air quality within and around the work area. * Careful Removal: Employing specialist techniques to safely remove the Artex with minimal disturbance. * Thorough Clean-up: A meticulous clean-up process using H-type vacuum cleaners. * Disposal: Legal and safe disposal of all hazardous asbestos waste at licensed facilities, with full documentation. * Air Clearance: A final independent air test to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation. We manage every step, leaving your property in Selby clean, safe, and ready for redecoration.
