Chilworth Old Village: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Chilworth Old Village homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Chandlers Ford station?
Yes, we cover Chilworth Old Village and the area towards Chandlers Ford station, about 2 miles north-east.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
How much does Artex removal cost in Chilworth Old Village?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
