About our artex removal in Langton Green
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and textured walls before a refit, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
Homes in places like Langton Green may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Langton Green questions
Could my house in Langton Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Langton Green and the area around Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes. Tunbridge Wells station is about 2.1 miles east of Langton Green, and we cover both.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
