Artex removal for Tower Hill properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Tower Hill, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s coatings damaged by leaks and walls before tiling, we deal with swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Tower Hill have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Weighing up your options
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Tower Hill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Tower Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Tower Hill and the area around Christs Hospital station?
Yes. Christs Hospital station is about 0.9 miles west of Tower Hill, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
