How Is Asbestos Artex Removed In Sussex?

Asbestos was widely used in the construction industry until the 1980s, when it was discovered that exposure to asbestos fibres could lead to serious health complications, such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. Since then, asbestos has been banned in many countries, but in the UK, it can still be found in many older buildings, especially in textured coatings such as Artex.

Removing asbestos Artex in Sussex is a complex and hazardous process that requires specialist skills and equipment. Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex is a leading asbestos removal company in Sussex, with many years of experience in safely removing asbestos from buildings of all types.

What is Asbestos Artex?

Artex is a textured wall and ceiling coating that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. It is made of a mixture of gypsum and fibres, which were originally made of asbestos. Artex was applied in various patterns, such as swirls, stipple, or popcorn, to give a textured appearance to walls and ceilings.

Asbestos Artex was used in many buildings until the mid-1980s, when the use of asbestos in construction was banned. However, many buildings built before this time still contain asbestos Artex, which can pose a health risk to occupants if it is not removed.

How is Asbestos Artex Removed?

Removing asbestos Artex in Sussex is a highly regulated process that must be carried out by a licensed asbestos removal company. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we follow strict procedures to ensure that asbestos is safely and effectively removed from buildings.

The first step in removing asbestos Artex is to carry out a thorough site survey to identify the location and type of asbestos in the building. This includes taking samples of the textured coating and sending them to a lab for analysis to confirm the presence of asbestos.

Once the type and location of asbestos Artex has been identified, we will prepare the site by erecting barriers and creating a sealed work area to minimise the spread of asbestos fibres. We use specialist equipment, such as negative pressure units and airlocks, to create a controlled environment that prevents asbestos fibres from escaping into the surrounding area.

Our team of fully trained and qualified asbestos removal specialists will then carefully remove the asbestos Artex coating from the surface using specialised tools and techniques. We follow strict procedures to ensure that the removal process is carried out safely and efficiently, without releasing asbestos fibres into the air.

Once the asbestos Artex has been removed, we conduct a thorough clean-up of the site to ensure that all asbestos fibres have been removed. We use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to capture any residual asbestos fibres and dispose of all asbestos waste in accordance with current regulations.
