Asbestos survey for Three Leg Cross
Asbestos survey in Three Leg Cross
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. From refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and surveys requested by builders before work, we cover textured ceilings, flues and garage roofs.
In a village like Three Leg Cross, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- How much there is
- How many different materials need sampling
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common questions in Three Leg Cross
Do you cover Three Leg Cross from London?
Three Leg Cross is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Three Leg Cross homes?
If your home in Three Leg Cross was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
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.
Do you cover Three Leg Cross?
Yes, we do: Three Leg Cross is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
What happens
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
