How artex removal works in Radclive
Planning a renovation in Radclive with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. People often contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and structural work through coated ceilings, involving swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Radclive have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Duty holders and landlords in Radclive
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

FAQs for Radclive
Do you cover small places like Radclive?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Radclive homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
