I suspect it is more about the type of exposure, long term or regular working in confined spaces with fine dust, like mechanics blowing brake dust out with an air line or installing asbestos in building work. The main asbestos removal technique is to remove the plasterboard in full with the asbestos Artex still attached. This time I was smarter and just took the entire plasterboard off from the ceiling and did almost no scraping (on at the edges to tidy up) - again just make sure the artex has gone soft by giving it a scrape first.You will also need protective glasses, a proper dust mask, a large paint brush, rubbish bags and lots of sheeting.

Created with the user in mind, Biostrip Artex Remover uses specially designed water-based technology.

Water-based – “Tough not toxic”- Non Hazardous – Non Toxic – Non Caustic – PH Neutral – No Fumes – No Skin Burns – Non Flammable – Non Combustible – Product requires no ventilation – Clings 100% to all surfaces – Keeps wet for long periods – No H (hazard) or P (precautionary) statements on the label. Whether it is a large contract job or a smaller job around the home, Biostrip Artex Remover is the safe way to remove unwanted artex. I have spent weeks trying to remove our hallway artex, 2 layers (why oh why did the previous owners decide to artex over artex? NOTE: Although this product is effective at softening artex, by its very nature artex removal is a fairly physical job. After every our knuckle was ripped, every expletive expleted, and every pet in hiding we decided to chip it away.

Here at DIY Doctor, we offer completely free DIY and construction help and advice to any and all, from professional tradesmen, exactly as they would do it. Cos even if we had known about the asbestos this Artex remover will easily strip without chips or dust.Any specialist access equipment such as fixed scaffolding will require additional costs to be considered. Leave the X-Tex on the surface for about 40 minutes and then test a small area to se if the coating is ready to come off. If I had to do it again I'd hire someone to tackle the job as there was a lot of mess and the task resulted in profanities and tears at times , however the product itself does warn that it's a difficult task. Arguably, getting something for totally free will get a true MoneySaver's heart pumping faster than any cardio workout ever could.
