It cannot be done at speed or with the steam plate left in one area too long…if it is, there is a possibility of damaging the ceiling or wall behind it and also the risk that the artex® will liquefy and run everywhere.

You will also need a sharp scraper - I bought the one from Tool station but it was rubbish so I bought the one from Screwfix which was really good (see photo). The asbestos removal technique is removing the asbestos Artex with minimal damage to the concrete surface.

Developed to enable easy removal of Artex from walls and ceilings both around the home or in the workplace. Asbestos Artex (Textured Coatings) usage was well under way in the 1970’s and 1980’s especially between 1976 and continued heavily until 1984.

The surface to which the asbestos Artex is applied will determine the way in which it can be safely removed and that in turn will affect the cost. Trade Strip X-Tex is an excellent Artex remover and allows for removing textured coatings such as *Artex® without causing dust from harmful asbestos fibres. Artex was applied to thousands upon thousands of houses from 1970 to 1990 because it was so much cheaper and easier to apply than plaster.
