Is your Artex dangerous?

Textured coatings like Artex were applied to ceilings and walls across the UK from the 1960s to the 1990s, and many contained asbestos to strengthen the finish. If your property was built or refurbished before 2000, asbestos may be present.

Textured coatings are generally lower-risk while intact and undisturbed — the fibres are bound within the coating. They become hazardous when:

  • Sanded, scraped or drilled
  • Cut or removed without proper controls
  • Damaged during renovation or DIY

Disturbing asbestos textured coatings can release fibres linked to serious illness including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer. Don't sand or scrape it yourself — call us for safe testing and removal under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
