Asbestos Artex Removal London & Surrey

Once a popular addition to construction materials, the ban of asbestos in 1999 came into full force after the dangers became known. Many properties like homes and schools built or renovated before the 2000s still have asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in situ.

While the risks are low while asbestos remains undisturbed, it should be closely monitored, and any building or DIY projects should be planned with health and safety in mind. If you think there’s asbestos in Artex at your property, call Goodbye Asbestos.

We specialise in the safe removal of Artex ceilings and walls across London and Surrey.

How to tell if Artex has asbestos?

Artex is a coating applied to walls and ceilings to give a textured finish. Identifying asbestos in ceilings is challenging because it was mixed with Artex coatings. Common signs of asbestos in Artex include textured or swirled patterns and a rough, bumpy finish. It was a popular decorative finish in the 70s and 80s. Professional asbestos sampling and testing can confirm the presence of ACMs at your home or business.

  • "Very professional and friendly service. Initialy spoke with Andy who gave us a quote and date for the work to be done. Chris and Jeff arrived on time and completely removed our garage although it was pouring with rain. They cleared all the rubbish and left the area clean. Would thoughly recomend this company. Work carried out in Crawley, West Sussex."

    Alan Barrett

  • "Removed an asbestos garage roof, whole shed with asbestos roof, and then when there was further asbestos at the end of the garden took that too. Worked very hard solidly for two hours, loaded sheets, wore masks and suits. Great service and solved a big problem for me."

    Elizabeth Anderson

  • "I had 40 sqm of aertex ceiling removed in my house and the price came out as reasonable (particularly against 3 other quotes I had for the job). The job was completed in one day which I was chuffed with and the guys made sure that the house was safe for us to live in afterwards. Very happy with Goodbye Asbestos, would highly recommend."

    Olivia Lands

  • "I had my asbestos water tank removed from my loft in Croydon. Chris did a great job. They had about a weeks lead time. I needed this done ASAP and they were able to prioritise it and we booked it in next day. Thanks to Andy"

    Danny Williams

  • "Goodbye Asbestos provided a very polite and professional service on a pre-purchase where a suspicious material was identified by a surveyor. Tom gave us a quick turn around and timeframe and kept us updated throughout the process. Would highly recommend for a no fuss experience!"

    Elizabeth Packham

  • "Great service, friendly staff and competitive price. The asbestos was picked up by a diligent worker who came back and checked that there were no small bits on the ground. That really impressed me. Would recommend."

    James Goldbridge

  • "On finding Marley tiles on our floors we were in urgent need of having them removed. Goodbye Asbestos were amazing. They booked us in really quickly and on time, came and scraped up all the offending tiles and gripper rods. They disposed of the rubbish and sealed the under floor, leaving us ready for the laying of our new flooring. A job well done."

    Paul Tootill

  • "I have asked Goodbye Asbestos to remove my asbestos roof and replace it with insulated corrugated metal panels. I recommend them highly as I am very pleased with the quality of their workmanship, their attentive service and communications."

    Stefano Ferrari

  • "I have used Goodbye Asbestos twice, once removing an old asbestos shed and recently my large garage which had an asbestos roof. The guys are efficient, clean and friendly. All wear the appropriate clothing whilst handling the asbestos. Organising the quote and the demolition was easy. I'd highly recommend Goodbye Asbestos for any Asbestos removal you may require."

    Callum Stott

  • "I wanted to say a big thank you to Chris and the team for the superb job they did this morning in dismantling our horrible old asbestos/concrete garage! It was all done very quickly and professionally. They wore PPE and the asbestos roof panels were securely wrapped in plastic sheeting. The site was left clean and tidy afterwards. I also appreciated your sending me your waste licence and a copy of your insurance which was very reassuring as one reads some horror stories about waste disposal cowboys."

Is it safe to live in a house with an Artex ceiling or wall?

Living with Artex coatings across walls and ceilings is generally safe if the coating remains in good condition and doesn’t become damage or disturbed. If this happens, tiny asbestos fibres can become airborne, risking the health of anyone who breathes them in. If you still have Artex at your property, request an asbestos survey from our team to monitor the risks.

Can you remove asbestos Artex yourself?

Never attempt to remove asbestos Artex yourself. Disturbing the material without the right precautions and measures in place is risky. At Goodbye Asbestos, we have specialised equipment and techniques to ensure asbestos is removed and disposed of safely and effectively, following the latest regulations. This means carefully dampening and removing the material and using encapsulation methods to prevent fibre release.
