Asbestos removal near Three Leg Cross
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

In places like Three Leg Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Duty holders and landlords in Three Leg Cross
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After we have finished in Three Leg Cross
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Three Leg Cross

Common questions in Three Leg Cross
Do you cover Three Leg Cross and the area around Stonegate station?
Yes. Stonegate station is about 3 miles south-west of Three Leg Cross, and we cover both.
Could my house in Three Leg Cross contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
