If you’ve got Artex or textured coatings on your ceilings or walls and you’re planning to redecorate or modernise, you need to know that many of these products contain asbestos. Asbestos Removals Wolverhampton specialises in safe, professional artex removal wolverhampton services across Wolverhampton and the wider West Midlands, helping homeowners and landlords create smooth, modern surfaces without the health risks.

We handle everything from testing to confirm whether your Artex contains asbestos, through to complete artex removal wolverhampton and disposal, leaving you with clean surfaces ready for plastering or decoration.

Artex is a brand name for textured coatings used widely between the 1960s and 1980s. These coatings created decorative patterns ranging from simple stipple effects to elaborate swirls.

Before 1984, many Artex products contained chrysotile asbestos, added to improve strength and fire resistance. Even textured coatings applied between 1984 and 1999 may contain asbestos.

If your home was decorated before 2000, there’s a strong chance the Artex contains asbestos. Testing is the only way to know for certain.

You might need artex removal wolverhampton if:

• You’re a landlord modernising rental properties

• You’re redecorating and want modern, smooth ceilings

• You’re selling and want to avoid buyer concerns

• The coating is damaged or deteriorating

• You’re renovating kitchens, bathrooms or living areas

Legally, small amounts can be removed by homeowners but we strongly advise against it due to:

• High health risks from fibre release
• Specialist techniques required
• Legal disposal requirements
• Lack of documentation for future buyers

Professional artex removal wolverhampton is safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective than most people expect.

1. Testing (if needed)

If you’re unsure whether asbestos is present, we take a sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited lab. Results are usually returned within 48 hours via our Asbestos Testing Wolverhampton service.

2. Quote

We provide a written quote based on the size, pattern and thickness of the Artex.

3. Preparation

Rooms are protected with plastic sheeting, doorways sealed and ventilation set up.

4. Safe Removal

Using specialist scrapers and wet-removal methods, we safely carry out the artex removal wolverhampton process. Wetting suppresses dust and prevents fibres from becoming airborne.

5. Cleaning

We clean the area using HEPA vacuums and damp-wipe techniques.

6. Disposal

All waste is double-bagged, labelled and taken to a licensed disposal facility. You receive waste consignment notes for your records.

7. Surface Preparation

We leave the surface clean and ready for plastering. We can recommend reliable local plasterers if needed.

If the coating is in excellent condition:

• Overboarding – install new plasterboard over the ceiling
• Encapsulation & Skimming – seal the coating and skim over it
