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.

Doing it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

More about this service

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.

How we work

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.

  1. Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
  2. We sample each different coating for testing
  3. If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
  4. We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Keep the area clear of children and pets
  • Let neighbours know if the work is near them
  • Let us know if something’s broken

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.

How can I get a price?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

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.
