Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you're a homeowner in Devon, it's essential to know how to test asbestos in Artex to ensure your property is safe and healthy for you and your loved ones. Asbestos was a common material used in construction, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, and Artex ceilings are no exception. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we understand the risks associated with asbestos and are here to guide you through the testing process.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in building materials, including Artex ceilings. However, when asbestos is disturbed or damaged, it releases tiny fibres that can be inhaled, causing serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. If you suspect that your Artex ceiling contains asbestos, it's crucial to have it tested by a qualified professional.

Testing asbestos in Artex is a relatively straightforward process that involves taking a sample of the material and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. Here's how to do it:

1. Identify the material: Before you start, make sure you have identified the material as Artex. Artex ceilings typically have a textured, stippled, or patterned finish.
2. Take a sample: Use a small, handheld tool, such as a screwdriver or a scraper, to remove a small sample of the material. Make sure to wear protective clothing, including gloves, a mask, and safety glasses.
3. Package the sample: Place the sample in a sealed plastic bag or a container, making sure to label it clearly.
4. Send the sample to a laboratory: Send the sample to a laboratory that is accredited to test for asbestos. You can search online for laboratories in your area or contact us for recommendations.
