Artex removal in Cade Street
Artex removal in Cade Street
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes and more.
Rural homes near Cade Street have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Older homes across Cade Street may have coatings added during past renovations.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Your questions about Artex removal in Cade Street
Is asbestos common in Cade Street homes?
If your home in Cade Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do you work in Cade Street?
Yes, we do: our area includes Cade Street and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
