Three Leg Cross: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Three Leg Cross normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Three Leg Cross homes?
Any home in Three Leg Cross built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Yes, Three Leg Cross is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
