£31.90 Inc VAT

Safe, non toxic, water based artex removal paste for easy removal of artex and textured surfaces. X-Tex Home Strip

Just bought a house and found rooms and rooms full of decades old Artex that you want to remove?

You’re not alone. It was so incredibly popular from the 1960’s through to the early 1980’s and has fallen (shock horror) out of fashion (even then it seemed dated!). So you’re stuck with it, you don’t know what to do… but you know it’s an awful job and you want rid of it.

BEWARE. Sadly, Artex often contained asbestos fibres, although fortunately not all artex did, you should still err on the side of caution when working with Artex. X-tex uses a water based solution that can remove artex without producing the harmful dust.

Whether you are a DIY or professional, Xtex can be used successfully to remove artex.

Please note, if you think there is more than just Artex, or more asbestos present, or just think things are a bit off, STOP and get a professional asbestos removal specialist to advise.
