Artex Removal in Gosport Operating Across Hampshire
Modernising Your Gosport Home Safely
If you've recently moved into an older house in Gosport, perhaps near Alverstoke or Lee-on-the-Solent, you've likely encountered those dated 'swirl' or 'stipple' patterns on the ceilings. While Artex was the height of fashion a few decades ago, it's now often seen as an eyesore that makes a room feel dark and old-fashioned. Beyond the aesthetics, there's a more serious point to consider: if your home was built or decorated before the year 2000, that textured coating could very well contain white asbestos, technically known as chrysotile. At Clear Safe Asbestos, we're here to help you get that smooth, modern finish you're after without taking any risks with your family's health.
Why Choose Us?
Why Artex Needs Professional Handling
In its undisturbed state, Artex is generally safe. It's what we call a low-friability material, meaning the asbestos fibres are firmly trapped within the coating. The danger starts the moment you decide to change it. Many well-meaning DIYers think they can simply sand those peaks flat or scrape it off on a weekend. This is exactly what you shouldn't do. Sanding Artex releases microscopic fibres into the air that are easily inhaled. We've seen too many homeowners start a project only to realise halfway through that they might be breathing in something hazardous. Our team uses controlled methods, including specialist wetting agents and HEPA-filtered vacuums, to ensure those fibres never get the chance to float around your home.

Who We Are
Reliable Asbestos Testing in Gosport
You can't tell if Artex contains asbestos just by looking at it. Even two identical-looking ceilings in the same street could be different depending on when the bags of coating were manufactured. Before you start any renovation work, it's a smart move to get an asbestos survey in Gosport. We can pop round, take a small, discreet sample, and send it off to a UKAS-accredited lab for analysis. It takes the guesswork out of your renovation. If the results are clear, you can crack on with your DIY. If they're positive for ACMs, we'll give you a clear, honest plan for safe removal that won't break the bank.

Should You Remove or Encapsulate?
We're often asked if it's okay to just plaster over the old texture. While 'encapsulation' is a valid way to hide Artex, it's often just kicking the can down the road. If you ever want to install spotlights, move a partition wall, or if the original ceiling starts to crack, the asbestos risk returns. Our preferred approach is often full Artex ceiling removal. We carefully take the material back to the original boards or, in many cases, safely remove the old plasterboard entirely. This leaves you with a clean, safe slate for your plasterer to create a perfect, smooth finish that genuinely modernises the space and adds value to your property.
