Chiddingstone Causeway questions
Do you come out to small villages like Chiddingstone Causeway?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Chiddingstone Causeway from London?
Chiddingstone Causeway is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
