Need Artex Removal in Portsmouth?
Artex Removal in Portsmouth Operating Across Portsmouth
Thinking about modernising those dated Portsmouth ceilings?
If you've recently moved into a charming Victorian terrace in Southsea or a post-war semi in Cosham, you've likely come face-to-face with the 'classic' Artex ceiling. Whether it's a heavy stipple, a fan pattern, or those distinctive swirls, textured coatings were the height of fashion from the 1970s right through to the late 90s. But now? Most Portsmouth homeowners we chat with are looking for a smooth, modern finish. Before you grab a scraper or start sanding things down, there's a vital safety check you need to consider. Many of these coatings applied before the year 2000 contain Chrysotile—better known as white asbestos. At Clear Safe Asbestos, we're here to help you navigate the removal process safely and without the stress.
Why Choose Us?
Why Artex isn't just a design choice from the past.
Back in the day, asbestos was added to textured coatings like Artex because it made the material stronger and more fire-resistant. It wasn't until 1999 that a total ban was placed on asbestos in the UK, which means if your Portsmouth property was built or renovated before the millennium, there's a high chance your ceilings contain ACMs (Asbestos-Containing Materials). The good news is that while it's sitting there undisturbed, it’s generally low-risk. The problem starts the moment you decide to renovate. Sanding, drilling, or even scraping old Artex can release microscopic fibres into your living room or office. Once those fibres are airborne, they can be inhaled, which is where the health risks really lie.

Who We Are
Professional removal beats the DIY 'dust cloud' every time.
We've seen plenty of well-intentioned DIY projects go a bit pear-shaped when someone realises halfway through that they’re creating a massive amount of potentially hazardous dust. Why take the risk with your family's health? Our team uses specialist controlled-wetting techniques to keep those fibres suppressed and out of the air. We don't just come in and start hacking away; we follow a strict process that includes using industrial-grade HEPA-filtered vacuums and proper sealing of the work area. Whether we're removing the coating back to the plasterboard or taking the whole ceiling down to the joists, we ensure your home stays clean and your lungs stay clear. It's about doing the job right, the first time.
