Duty holders and landlords in Langstone
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Artex removal for Langstone properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Whether it’s flaking textured ceilings and rented flats before redecoration, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Langstone have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Langstone: your questions answered
Do older homes in Langstone have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Langstone may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Langstone from London?
We cover Langstone, about 60 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
