  1. The dangers of Asbestos in Artex Many traditional buildings contain Artex and other textured coatings on their walls or ceilings. In these coatings, the building contractors often use asbestos which is potentially harmful to the health of the dwellers. Asbestos in Artex is often found on the ceilings of the bedrooms and other living areas of the home, which when tightly bound up with the textured coatings; pose no serious threat to the health of the dwellers. The problem arises when Asbestos in Artex gets loosened and becomes airborne. These asbestos fibers are microscopic and cannot be observed with the naked eye. They are tasteless, odourless, and invisible so that you would never know when you inhale those fibers. Once the asbestos fibers reach the lungs, it poses a real threat to your health and the well-being of anyone residing with you in its vicinity. Asbestos fibers cause diseases like asbestosis, lung cancer, and breathing problems which is why they use of asbestos as building material are completely banned in the UK since 2000. So, if you are living in a house, or have moved in recently, you must check out whether asbestos has been used in the coatings of the ceilings of the bedroom or living room. Ordinarily, you cannot do that without professional assistance, who upon calling would make a survey of the penetration of airborne asbestos fibers, the type of the asbestos used and inform you how much time and labour would have to be invested to make your place asbestos-free. Likewise, the garage roofs made from corrugated cement usually contain asbestos in traditionally made homes. Asbestos garage roof removal and reinstatement of a roof that is free of asbestos should be done with the assistance of professionals who are certified and knows their job. Asbestos garage roof removal must be done after a survey of the ground condition so that you rest assured that no immediate health risk is imminent in your happy home.
