Artex is a brand name for a decorative textured coating that became hugely popular from the 1970s right up to the late 1990s. It often created patterns like swirls, stipples, or peaks on ceilings and walls. The issue is that many of these products, particularly those installed before 1999, included chrysotile (white) asbestos. This was added to strengthen the material and make it easier to apply. As long as it’s in good condition and left undisturbed, it usually doesn't pose a significant risk. However, drilling, sanding, scraping, or removing it without proper care can release harmful asbestos fibres. That's why professional assessment and removal are so important.
Removing Artex that contains asbestos requires careful planning and execution. We make sure the entire process is straightforward and safe for you. First, we recommend a survey or sampling if you're unsure whether your Artex contains asbestos – it’s the essential first step to identify the material. Once confirmed, our experienced team creates a detailed plan. We carefully seal off the work area to stop any fibres from spreading. Then, using specialist tools and techniques, we gently remove the textured coating, keeping dust to an absolute minimum. After removal, we conduct a thorough clean-up and provide air monitoring if needed, making sure your home is completely safe before we leave.
Beyond Artex: Comprehensive Asbestos Services for Swaffham Homes
While Artex removal is a common request in Swaffham, we offer a full suite of asbestos removal services for homeowners. Many older Norfolk properties have other asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that might need attention. This includes old asbestos cement garage and shed roofs, which often become brittle over time. We also safely remove asbestos soffits, fascias, and guttering, as well as old water tanks in lofts. If you have older floor tiles with bitumen adhesive, or even general household items like fence panels made from asbestos cement, our team can handle it. Our comprehensive services mean we can tackle multiple issues at once, providing a truly reliable service.
