About our artex removal in Langrish
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In areas like Langrish, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

After we have finished in Langrish
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
- Test every different coating
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
DIY and asbestos
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Common questions in Langrish
Do you cover small places like Langrish?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Langrish homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Typical Artex jobs in Langrish
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
Non-domestic buildings like Langrish Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
