Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

As a homeowner or property manager in Caerphilly, you may be concerned about the presence of asbestos in your Artex ceilings. Artex, a popular textured coating used in the 1960s to 1980s, often contained asbestos, a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems when disturbed. In this article, we will guide you on how to test your Artex for asbestos and what to do next.

Artex is a type of textured coating made from a mixture of water, binder, and aggregate. In the past, asbestos was commonly added to Artex as a binding agent and insulation material. Asbestos was chosen for its fire-resistant and insulating properties, but it has since been linked to serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

If you suspect that your Artex ceiling contains asbestos, it's essential to have it tested by a licensed asbestos removal company, such as Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff. Our team of experts will collect a sample of the Artex material and send it to a laboratory for analysis.

The testing process typically involves the following steps:

1. Sampling: Our team will collect a small sample of the Artex material, taking care to minimize disturbance and prevent the release of asbestos fibres.
2. Laboratory Analysis: The sample will be sent to a laboratory for analysis, where it will be examined for the presence of asbestos.
3. Results: The laboratory will provide a report indicating whether asbestos is present in the sample.
