For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in East Langdon must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings

East Langdon questions
Do you come out to small villages like East Langdon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my East Langdon home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
