How To Dispose Of Asbestos Artex In Sussex

If you have Artex in your walls or ceilings, then you must be aware of the presence of asbestos in them. Asbestos was used in Artex coatings until the mid-1980s when it was banned due to its harmful effects on health. Artex coating is a textured coating for walls and ceilings that has been popular since the 1960s. The asbestos in Artex is a dangerous substance that can cause lung disease, cancer, and other health problems.

What is Artex?

Artex is a textured coating that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s for decorating walls and ceilings. It was typically applied using rollers or brushes and created a textured effect. Artex was a popular choice for those looking to add some texture to their walls and ceilings without having to resort to wallpaper or paint.

However, Artex was most commonly used as a coating for ceiling and wall surfaces in buildings built prior to the 1980s. It was popular because of its durability, versatility, and low cost. Unfortunately, Artex also contained asbestos.

The asbestos fiber was added to Artex to enhance its durability and strength. Asbestos is made up of tiny fibers which can be breathed in if the material containing asbestos is disturbed or damaged. This can lead to lung cancer, asbestosis, mesothelioma, or other respiratory diseases.

Asbestos-containing materials, such as Artex, are safe as long as they are in good condition and not disturbed. However, if they are damaged, the asbestos fibers can be released into the air, which can be harmful to health. That's why it's important to dispose of asbestos-containing Artex correctly.

How do we dispose of Artex safely?

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we take the disposal of Artex containing asbestos very seriously. We understand the risks associated with asbestos, and our team is trained and equipped to handle the material safely.

The first step is to have an asbestos survey conducted on the property to identify any materials containing asbestos. Our trained surveyors can conduct a thorough inspection to identify any potential asbestos-containing materials. Once we have identified the Artex that contains asbestos, we will take the necessary steps to remove it.

Our process for asbestos removal involves the use of specialized equipment and protective gear to ensure our team and anyone else nearby is protected from the asbestos fibers. We use negative pressure units to minimize the spread of asbestos fibers during the removal process. We then carefully remove the Artex containing asbestos and double-bag it for disposal at a licensed asbestos waste facility.

Our team only uses licensed waste carriers for disposal to ensure the safe and responsible disposal of the asbestos-containing materials. Once the disposal is completed, we provide our clients with a certificate of disposal, which confirms that the asbestos waste has been disposed of correctly.
