Our Artex Removal Process

Before undertaking any artex removal job, we conduct a thorough inspection of the area to determine whether the artex contains asbestos. If it does, we strictly follow safety protocols to ensure that the work is carried out safely and effectively. This includes properly containing and disposing of any materials containing asbestos, and thoroughly cleaning the area after completion.

We employ a range of techniques such as scraping, sanding, and chemical stripping to remove the artex, while also taking measures to prevent any dust or debris generated during the process from spreading. We use plastic sheeting to seal off the area, providing an effective barrier to contain any potential contaminants.

We understand that the prospect of having artex removed from your property can be overwhelming and stressful. Therefore, we make every effort to minimize the impact of the process on our customers. We provide free estimates, flexible scheduling, and are available to answer any questions you may have about the procedure.

My home underwent an asbestos survey by Asbestos Removal Glasgow Ltd, who also checked the entire property for asbestos. The report was quite effective and returned earlier than anticipated. The office personnel and asbestos assessor were highly competent, and they helped me avoid spending tens of thousands of pounds on a new home!
