Trusted & Affordable Artex Asbestos Removal
Artex is one of the most common asbestos-containing materials still found in UK homes and commercial buildings. Many textured coatings applied before 2000 contain asbestos fibres that become dangerous when disturbed.

Not Sure If Your Artex Contains Asbestos?
You can't tell by looking. A quick sample sent for asbestos testing gives you a definitive answer before any work starts. If the coating is asbestos-free, you may not need us at all, and we'll tell you so.
Safe, Compliant Removal
If your Artex does contain asbestos, we remove it under controlled conditions with full PPE, sealed waste and consignment notes for your records, protecting your property and the people in it.
Understanding Artex Asbestos
Artex (Artex LTD) is a decorative coating found in older homes and buildings. This textured coating, famous for its decorative appeal, was first introduced in 1935 and has since become a well-known product for containing asbestos.
It was widely applied to ceilings and walls to create a smooth surface and hide imperfections. However, many Artex coatings applied before the year 2000 may contain chrysotile (white asbestos).
Why Professional Removal Is Essential
Disturbing Artex that contains asbestos without proper precautions can release dangerous fibres into the air. These microscopic fibres, when inhaled, can lead to serious health conditions including:
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Lung cancer
- Pleural thickening
