Artex Removal in Ludgershall Operating Across Wiltshire

Thinking about modernising your Ludgershall home by removing old Artex?

If you've recently moved into a property in Ludgershall or you're finally getting round to that long-awaited renovation, those dated, swirly ceilings are probably high on your 'to-do' list. While Artex was the height of fashion from the 70s through to the 90s, it’s now seen as a bit of a relic. But before you grab a scraper or start sanding it down to a smooth finish, there’s a crucial safety point to consider. Most textured coatings applied before the year 2000 contain Chrysotile, more commonly known as white asbestos. At Clear Safe Asbestos, we're here to help you navigate the process of removing these materials safely, ensuring your home remains a healthy environment for your family.

Understanding the real risks of asbestos in textured coatings

You might wonder why such a common decorative finish is now treated with such caution. The truth is, while Artex is generally considered 'low-risk' when it’s left alone and in good condition, it becomes a problem the moment it’s disturbed. If you try to sand, drill, or scrape it off without the right protection, you can release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. These fibres are easily inhaled and can lead to serious health issues years down the line. That’s why the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 sets out strict rules for how these materials are handled. We don't say this to scare you, but to ensure you have all the facts before starting a project that could affect your health.

How we safely remove your asbestos textured coatings

We don’t just turn up with a scraper and a bucket. Our process is designed to be as clean and safe as possible. We use controlled 'wet' methods to keep any dust suppressed, and our teams use specialist H-Class vacuums equipped with HEPA filtration to ensure the air stays clean. Most Artex removal falls under the category of Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW), which means it requires specific training and equipment that most general builders simply don't have. Once the coating is gone, we don't just leave you with a mess. We provide a full Hazardous Waste Consignment Note, which is your legal proof that the asbestos has been disposed of at a licensed facility. It’s that extra bit of paperwork that gives you total peace of mind.

Full removal versus skimming: What is right for you?

A question we often get asked by Ludgershall residents is: 'Can't I just plaster over it?' While encapsulation—skimming over the Artex—is a temporary fix, it doesn't actually remove the hazard. It just hides it. If a future owner decides to drill into that ceiling to install a new light fitting or a smoke alarm, they could unknowingly disturb the asbestos underneath. Full removal, taking the material right back to the plasterboard or joists, is the only way to permanently solve the problem and add real value back to your property. We can chat through both options with you, but for a truly modern, smooth finish that's 100% safe, professional removal is almost always the best path forward.
