Artex was a popular decorative finish for ceilings and walls for decades. Unfortunately, many types of Artex manufactured before the year 2000 contained white asbestos (chrysotile) to enhance its texture and durability. While undisturbed Artex is generally safe, any work that could disturb it – like drilling, sanding, or scraping – can release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air. These fibres, if inhaled, pose significant long-term health risks. This is why professional artex testing is the crucial first step. Never assume your textured coatings are asbestos-free; always get them professionally checked.

At Asbestos In Homes, your safety and the safety of your property in South Elmsall are our absolute priority. Our asbestos artex removal process adheres strictly to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, ensuring every step is handled with the utmost care and professionalism:

1. Initial Assessment & Artex Testing: We begin with a thorough inspection and safely take samples of the suspect Artex. These samples are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate analysis. We'll provide you with a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos.
2. Preparation & Containment: If asbestos is confirmed, we establish a controlled removal area, sealing off the work zone to prevent any fibre spread within your South Elmsall property. We use specialist equipment and negative pressure units where required.
3. Licensed Asbestos Removal: Our highly trained and licensed specialists carefully remove the asbestos-containing Artex using industry-leading techniques, minimising airborne fibre release.
4. Air Monitoring & Clean-Up: During and after removal, we conduct thorough air monitoring to ensure the air quality is safe. We perform a meticulous clean-up, removing all traces of asbestos.
5. Safe Asbestos Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, sealed, and transported by licensed carriers to authorised hazardous waste disposal sites, providing you with waste consignment notes for full legal compliance.
