Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- No removal until we know what it is
For businesses and landlords in Hammersmith
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in Hammersmith were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

When we quote, we look at:
- Licensed or non-licensed

Common questions in Hammersmith
Could my house in Hammersmith contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hammersmith may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Hammersmith homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is my textured ceiling in Hammersmith asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
The scope of Artex removal
Before booking, note that:
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Photos help us quote
- Clear the rooms before the work
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Why people call us in Hammersmith
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Textured walls before a refit
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings damaged by leaks
A school like Earl's Court Free School Primary should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
