Artex removal near Langley
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From structural work through coated ceilings and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes and more.
Homes in towns and villages like Langley may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Langley
Do you cover Langley from London?
Langley is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Langley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Langley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you cover Langley?
Yes. We cover Langley and the surrounding area as part of Slough. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
