Where we remove Artex in RG9
From Henley-on-Thames, Sonning Common and Lower Shiplake to small villages, homes across RG9 have textured ceilings. Testing comes first, wherever you are. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across RG9, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.
Henley-on-Thames: If you are refurbishing flats near Henley-On-Thames station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. Older homes across Henley-on-Thames may have coatings added during past renovations.
Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Typical jobs in RG9 include:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings already disturbed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Travel and parking
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
FAQs for RG9
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you cover RG9?
Yes, we do: RG9 is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
