Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I live in my home whilst you carry out the treatment work?
A. Generally yes. There may be an exclusion period from the treated areas of your home and if you suffer form allergies the exclusion periods are likely to be extended. You also may not wish to live in your home during the treatment period if the work we are undertaking involves the removal of your kitchen or bathroom areas.
Q. Will the treatment work make my house smell?
A. The treatment preparations that we use are water based, and as such there should be very little residual odour.
Q. Will the work be guaranteed and if so for how long?
A. Our rising damp, woodboring insect and fungal decay treatments are all guaranteed for 20 years from the date of treatment
Q. Do I have to take time off from work whilst the treatment work is being carried out?
A. No. Our technicians are all directly employed by Vincent Preservation  and you can trust them in your home.
Q. Can you tell me over the phone how much the work is likely to cost?
A. No. All properties and their problems are unique and as such we will have to carry out out an individual survey of your property to establish the full extent of any problem and provide you with the most cost effective solution.
Q. How long will it take your Surveyor to complete the survey of my home?
A. This depends upon several factors, such as the size of your home, the nature of the problem, the ease of access that we have to the areas of your concern, and the limitations that may be placed upon our surveyor.
Q. What happens to my guarantee if I sell my home?
A. The guarantee is on the treated areas of your property and can be transferred to the new owner of your property.
Q. How do you want me to pay?
A. Normally people prefer to pay us by either credit card, switch or cheque. We will invoice you either on completion or in stages during the course of the work.
Q. How do I arrange for one of your surveyors to inspect my property?
A. Please contact our office either by completing the on line booking form or alternatively please call us on 01702 382363.
