Artex is a water–based covering, traditionally used to give a decorative finish such as textured ceilings or walls. Getting something totally free is likely to get a true MoneySaver's heart pumping faster than any cardio workout ever could.
Converts the artex to a soft, removable gel that minimises any health risks should the artex contain asbestos. Prior to the 1990s potentially dangerous substances such as asbestos were used in a range of textured coatings and finishes, so it is essential that the relevant precautions are taken when working with these materials. Vinyl silk is hard to penetrate with any type of paint remover, so the first recommendation is to apply a light coat of X-Tex then lightly scoring the surface with a blade.Age of Artex: Not only may it contain asbestos it may also be damaged and cracked from the effects of time. Removal is made easier with a long handled blade scraper which helps to lift it from the surface rather than spreading it around the wall, which usually happens when using a standard steel scraper. Trade Strip X-Tex is a water-based Artex remover that takes the ‘tough not toxic’ stance for removing all types of textured coatings safely and effectively. Water-based, pH-neutral, non-hazardous, non-caustic, solvent-free, non-flammable, non-combustible, minimal evaporation.
If you are unsure, get it checked out before you start, but would recommend not plastering over if it does contain asbestos. Please note, you should not over soften the Artex or this will liquify and make a considerable mess.The scraper you use should simply slide under the Artex which you can tap into a bucket for disposal. So I applied another coat and left it overnight, actually for about 18 hours, then I sprayed it with water to reactivate it, left it for about an hour, then had another go at it, but it still didn't seem to help.

Being only just out of NHBC warranty, my house is a bit bereft of those lovely features you had, the only features we have are skirting boards, but it would still be nice to see them. If we had realised it probably contained asbestos too – it was put up before it was banned in 1984 – we probably would still be living with it. Just think what all that paint stripper tipped down the drains and poured into our landfills has down to our eco systems !

However, the removal contractor/builder needs to be trained to Cat B (non-licensed asbestos training).Oh, I forgot to add that you should get it checked for definate if it does or doesn't contain asbestos. After scraping off the artex, you will need to wash and scrub the walls as any x tex left on it will crack any paint on top.
