Artex Removal in Lymington Operating Across Hampshire

Looking to modernise your Lymington home?

If you're living in one of Lymington's charming older properties, perhaps a cottage near the Quay or a mid-century semi in the New Forest, you're likely familiar with the 'swirl' and 'stipple' patterns of Artex. While these textured coatings were all the rage a few decades ago, they've definitely seen better days. Today, most homeowners we chat with are looking for that clean, smooth finish that makes a room feel bright and contemporary. But before you grab a scraper and get to work, there’s something important you need to know: if your home was built or decorated before the year 2000, that Artex could be hiding asbestos.

Why Choose Us?

Is there asbestos in your Artex?

It’s a question we get asked a lot. The short answer is: quite possibly. Until it was finally banned in 1999, many brands of textured coating contained Chrysotile, often known as white asbestos. These fibres were added to strengthen the material and create those famous patterns. It's perfectly safe if it’s left alone and in good condition, but the moment you start sanding, scraping, or drilling into it, you risk releasing microscopic fibres into the air. That’s why we always recommend a professional test before you start any DIY renovation project in Lymington or across Hampshire.

Who We Are

Why you shouldn't just sand it down.

We’ve seen it happen too many times—a homeowner starts a weekend project, thinks they'll just sand the 'popcorn' ceiling flat, and suddenly the whole house is covered in potentially hazardous dust. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) become friable—meaning they can be easily crumbled into powder—they pose the greatest risk. At Clear Safe Asbestos, we use controlled methods to ensure this never happens. Our team uses specialised wetting techniques and high-efficiency HEPA filtration vacuums to keep your family and your home safe while we work.

Removal versus skimming over the top.

You might have heard people suggest 'encapsulation'—essentially just plastering or skimming over the Artex. While this is sometimes an option, it doesn't actually get rid of the problem; it just hides it for the next person. If you ever need to install new spotlights or do structural work later on, the risk remains. We find that most of our clients in the New Forest area prefer the peace of mind that comes with full removal. We can take it right back to the original boards or safely scrape the texture away, leaving you with a surface that's ready for a fresh, modern finish.
