Artex Removal in Blandford Forum Operating Across Dorset
Professional Artex removal in Blandford Forum
Are you planning to modernise your home in Blandford Forum but find yourself staring up at a dated, stippled ceiling? Many of the lovely properties across Dorset built or renovated between the 1960s and the late 1990s feature textured coatings, commonly known as Artex. While these 'popcorn' or swirl patterns were once the height of fashion, they often hide a secret: white asbestos, also known as chrysotile. At Clear Safe Asbestos, we're here to help you navigate the process of safely removing these coatings so you can finally achieve that smooth, modern finish you've been dreaming of without any of the health risks.
Why Choose Us?
Why Artex often contains asbestos
It's a question we get asked a lot by homeowners in the area: 'Is my ceiling actually dangerous?' Until it was banned in the UK in 1999, asbestos was frequently added to textured coatings to give them strength and fire resistance. Because it’s impossible to tell just by looking at a fan or shell pattern whether it contains ACMs (Asbestos-Containing Materials), we always recommend professional testing. In its hardened state on your ceiling, Artex is generally considered low-friability, meaning the fibres are bound tightly. However, the moment you start scraping or sanding it, those microscopic fibres can become airborne, which is where the real danger to your family begins.

Who We Are
Thinking of sanding it down? Please don't
We’ve spoken to many DIY enthusiasts in Blandford Forum who were halfway through a renovation before realising the risk. Sanding Artex is the most dangerous thing you can do, as it creates a fine dust that's easily inhaled. When we handle your Artex removal, we use specialist techniques like controlled wetting down to keep dust to an absolute minimum. We also use industrial-grade HEPA-filtered vacuums to ensure the air in your home stays clean. It’s not just about getting the job done; it’s about making sure your living room or bedroom is a safe environment long after we’ve packed up our kit.

Local Blandford Forum Experts Operating Across All Of Dorset
Removing textured coatings safely and efficiently
Every project in Dorset is a bit different. Depending on your plans, we offer a few different approaches. Some clients want the Artex completely removed back to the original plasterboard or joists, which is often the best route if you're planning a full structural renovation. Others prefer a 'safe scrape' where we remove the high peaks of the texture under controlled conditions, leaving a surface that’s ready for a fresh coat of plaster. Whatever you choose, we handle the 'heavy lifting' of the safety protocols, so you don't have to worry about the technicalities of NNLW (Notifiable Non-Licensed Work) regulations.
