Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you're a homeowner or property manager in Devon, you may be concerned about the presence of asbestos in your Artex ceilings. Asbestos was a common material used in construction until the 1990s, and it's still found in many buildings today. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we understand the risks associated with asbestos and are here to provide you with a safe and reliable testing service.

Artex is a type of textured ceiling coating that was popular in the UK from the 1950s to the 1990s. It was often used to cover up imperfections in ceilings and to create a decorative finish. Unfortunately, many Artex products contained asbestos, which was added to improve their durability and fire resistance. Asbestos is a highly toxic substance that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Identifying asbestos in Artex can be challenging, as it's often mixed with other materials. However, there are some signs that may indicate the presence of asbestos:

• A textured, bumpy, or swirly pattern on the ceiling
• A white or off-white colour
• A rough, porous surface
• A ceiling that was installed before the 1990s
