Your questions about Artex removal in Richings Park
Do you cover Richings Park and the area around Iver station?
Yes, we cover Richings Park, including the streets around Iver station.
Is the Artex in my Richings Park home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
About our artex removal in Richings Park
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s rented flats before redecoration and ceilings before downlights go in, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes and more.
Village homes like those in Richings Park have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.
