Artex removal in Radley
Artex removal for Radley properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about rented flats before redecoration and textured walls before a refit.
Rural homes near Radley 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, for your records.

FAQs for Radley
Could my house in Radley contain asbestos?
If your home in Radley 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.
Is the Artex in my Radley home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How much does Artex removal cost in Radley?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- How many samples are needed

What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view

- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What happens next
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Once we are done:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are

What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Why people call us in Radley

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Loft conversions and extensions
