Artex Removal in Basingstoke Operating Across Hampshire
Modernising Your Basingstoke Home Safely
<p>Are you looking at a dated swirl or stipple ceiling and wondering how to bring your home into the 21st century? Many of us living in Basingstoke and Deane, especially in houses built between the 1960s and late 1990s, are all too familiar with textured coatings—better known as Artex. While these patterns were the height of fashion a few decades ago, they often hide a secret: asbestos. Specifically, a type called chrysotile (white asbestos) was commonly added to the mix to provide strength and texture. At Clear Safe Asbestos, we're here to help you navigate the process of removing it without the stress or the risk.</p><p>It’s worth remembering that if your property was built or renovated before the year 2000, you should assume that textured coating contains asbestos until proven otherwise. It’s perfectly safe if it’s left alone and in good condition, but the moment you decide to sand it down or scrape it away to get that smooth, modern finish, you could be releasing harmful fibres into your living room. That’s where our local expertise comes in.</p>
Why Choose Us?
Why Sanding Artex is a Real Danger
<p>We often speak to homeowners in Basingstoke who were tempted to just 'sand the peaks off' before a plasterer arrived. Please, don't do this. Artex is generally low-friability, which is a fancy way of saying the asbestos fibres are tightly bound within the material. However, the second you apply a power sander or even a hand scraper to a dry ceiling, you turn that material into dust. Once those fibres are airborne, they are incredibly difficult to clean up and even harder on your lungs.</p><p>When we handle your artex removal, we use controlled wetting techniques and specialist HEPA-filtered vacuums to ensure that dust never becomes an issue. We don’t just 'rip it out'; we manage the environment so that your home remains a safe place for your family to breathe. It’s about doing the job right the first time so you can move on with your renovation with total peace of mind.</p>

Who We Are
Tailored Solutions for Your Ceilings and Walls
<p>Every project is different, and we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on what you’re planning for your home, we usually offer two main routes:</p><ul><li><strong>Full Removal:</strong> This involves carefully taking down the plasterboard or substrate that the Artex is attached to. This is often the cleanest way to ensure every trace of asbestos is gone from the room.</li><li><strong>Safe Scraping for Re-skimming:</strong> If the ceiling is sound, we can perform a highly controlled 'wet scrape' to remove the texture peaks, followed by a thorough cleaning. This prepares the surface for a fresh coat of plaster without the mess of full demolition.</li></ul><p>Not sure which one you need? We can chat through the options over a quick phone call and even arrange for a sample to be tested at a UKAS-accredited lab so we know exactly what we’re dealing with before we start.</p>
