Artex removal for Tower Hill properties
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. From extensions that cut into ceilings and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
Ceilings in Tower Hill conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What we deal with in Tower Hill
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Textured walls before a refit

Non-domestic buildings like The Aldgate School should already have records of any textured coatings.
