Need Artex Removal in Chichester?
Artex Removal in Chichester Operating Across West Sussex
Updating those dated Chichester ceilings safely
If you've recently moved into an older property in Chichester—perhaps a charming terrace near the city walls or a family home in Fishbourne—you've likely encountered those familiar swirls and stippled patterns on the ceilings. Artex was the go-to choice for decades, but if you're planning to modernise your home with a sleek, smooth finish, there’s a bit more to it than just scraping it off. Because of the way it was manufactured, much of the textured coating applied before the year 2000 actually contains asbestos. At Clear Safe Asbestos, we're here to help you navigate that hurdle without the stress or the safety risks.
Why Choose Us?
Is there really asbestos in my Artex?
It's a question we get asked over a cuppa almost every day. The short answer is: quite possibly. Until the late 90s, Artex and similar brands often included chrysotile (white asbestos) to help the mixture hold its shape and provide durability. While these coatings are generally considered 'low-risk' when they're in good condition and left alone, they become a different story the moment they're disturbed. If you're planning on drilling for new spotlights or trying to sand down those sharp peaks, you could be unknowingly releasing microscopic fibres into your living room.

Who We Are
Why DIY sanding is a risky business
We've seen it happen many times—a homeowner starts a weekend DIY project, grabs a power sander, and halfway through realises they might be creating a hazard. Sanding asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) is incredibly dangerous because it creates fine dust that stays airborne for ages. That’s why our approach is completely different. We use controlled methods, often involving wetting the material down to 'suppress' any potential fibres, ensuring they stay trapped and don't end up in your carpets or curtains. We also use specialist HEPA-filtered vacuums that are designed specifically for hazardous dust, keeping your air clean and your family safe.

Should you remove it or just plaster over?
Most homeowners we speak to ask if they can just 'skim' over the Artex. While encapsulation—plastering over the texture—is a temporary fix, it doesn't actually get rid of the problem. It just hides it. If you ever want to move a wall, install a new loft hatch, or deal with a leak later on, you'll still have to face the asbestos risk. Full Artex removal gives you a totally fresh start. We can safely remove the coating back to the original surface or, in some cases, remove the plasterboard entirely if that's the more efficient route for your renovation. It’s about doing the job right once, so you never have to worry about it again.
