Artex in good condition is generally low risk if it is left alone. The danger comes when it is sanded, scraped, drilled or steamed, which can release fibres into the air. You cannot tell if Artex contains asbestos by looking at it, so if you are unsure, our asbestos testing service can confirm it. Please do not try to remove it yourself: it needs to be dampened, removed under controlled conditions and disposed of correctly. Once it is gone, we can fit new plasterboard ceilings and plastering through our reinstating service.
