Langley Green: your questions answered
Could my house in Langley Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Langley Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Langley Green from London?
We cover Langley Green, about 26 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Duty holders and landlords in Langley Green

If you manage or own a block in Langley Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are

Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
