Is Your Artex Ceiling Hiding a Deadly Secret?
As a homeowner in Devon, you might be aware of the potential dangers of asbestos in your home. Artex ceilings, popular in the 1960s and 1970s, can contain this hazardous material. But how do you test Artex for asbestos? At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're here to guide you through the process and provide you with a safe and affordable solution.
What is Artex and Why is it a Concern?
Artex is a textured coating used to finish ceilings and walls. It was commonly used in homes built before the 1980s. Unfortunately, many Artex products contained asbestos, a known carcinogen. When asbestos is disturbed, it releases fibres that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. If you suspect your Artex ceiling contains asbestos, it's essential to have it tested and removed by a qualified professional.
How Do We Test Artex for Asbestos?
At 1st Choice Asbestos, our team of experts follows a strict testing process to determine if your Artex ceiling contains asbestos. We take a small sample of the material and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Our technicians are trained to collect samples safely, minimizing the risk of fibre release. We understand the importance of accurate results, and our laboratory partners use the latest techniques to provide a comprehensive analysis.
What Happens After the Test Results?
If the test results confirm the presence of asbestos in your Artex ceiling, our team will work with you to develop a removal plan. We use the latest equipment and techniques to safely remove the asbestos-containing material, ensuring minimal disruption to your home. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and asbestos-free environment. We also offer replacement services, using affordable and durable materials to bring your vision of a new ceiling to life.
