Common questions in Cross in Hand
Do you cover small places like Cross in Hand?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Cross in Hand contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Cross in Hand?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you cover Cross in Hand?
Yes. We cover Cross in Hand and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Older buildings in Cross in Hand, near St Bartholomew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
