Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you live in Devon and have a textured ceiling, commonly known as Artex, you may be wondering if it contains asbestos. This is a valid concern, as asbestos was a common ingredient in Artex ceilings until the late 1990s. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of testing if your Artex ceiling contains asbestos and what to do next.

Artex is a textured coating made from a mixture of water, aggregate, and a binding agent. It was widely used in the UK from the 1950s to the 1990s to create decorative ceilings. However, many Artex ceilings contain asbestos, which is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems when disturbed. If you suspect that your Artex ceiling contains asbestos, it's essential to take action to minimize the risk to your health and the health of your loved ones.

Testing for asbestos in Artex ceilings requires a professional approach to ensure accurate results and minimize the risk of exposure. At 1st Choice Asbestos, our team of experts will collect a sample of the Artex material and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will then examine the sample using a range of techniques, including microscopy and X-ray diffraction, to determine if it contains asbestos.

If the test results show that your Artex ceiling contains asbestos, our team will work with you to develop a plan for safe removal and disposal. We'll ensure that the asbestos is removed in a way that minimizes the risk of exposure to you and your family. We'll also provide guidance on how to dispose of the asbestos waste safely and in accordance with UK regulations.
