Sparsholt: your questions answered
Do you cover Sparsholt and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Sparsholt and the area towards Winchester station, about 2.7 miles east.
Do you come out to small villages like Sparsholt?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in Sparsholt?
We do: our area includes Sparsholt and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
