We’ll start with Artex itself as they were the most popular brand during the asbestos heyday. As a General Rule of Thumb: This is because asbestos was always mixed with other non-asbestos materials in the Artex, and the fibres are so small that even if they are released, they cannot be seen or smelled. I’m staggered how a company can be so inept and run in this way. Their communication from this company is horrendous and I would not recommend them to anybody.

Do you need to get some Artex tested?

Firstly a trained asbestos surveyor would safely obtain a small sample of the material – it will typically be the size of a 50p coin – and then it will be sent or taken to a testing laboratory for examination. The sample will then be inspected under a microscope to assess for the presence of asbestos. While the name ‘Artex’ has come to be widely used in reference to a popular type of textured coating for interior decorating, this name actually originates from the name of the company that produces the coating.

Taking your samples - Depending on on the type of material you're about to sample you will need a suitable tool for extracting the sample. A chisel or knife is good for taking a scraping sample, or a pair of pliers are perfect for breaking a sample (e.g a floor tile or cement sheet sample). Full instructions of how to take a sample are detailed in the instructions provided. Complete removal: Not an easy solution, this method involves completely removing the Artex and original plasterboard.
