Langley: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Langley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Langley have asbestos?
Any home in Langley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Langley?
Yes, Langley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What we deal with in Langley
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos garages
In older properties in Langley, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. Outdoor removal in Langley is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Mention any damage before we arrive
