Asbestos help in Three Leg Cross
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating.
Cement sheets

How asbestos testing works in Three Leg Cross
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Common materials are flue pipes, soffit boards and black adhesive, and typical jobs are something broken during building work and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down.
In a village like Three Leg Cross, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

How we price asbestos testing
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of materials to sample
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- How we’d reach it
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Floor tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Flue pipes
- Roof felt
- Soffit boards
- Water tanks
- Bitumen adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Panels behind heaters
For businesses and landlords in Three Leg Cross
If you manage or own a block in Three Leg Cross, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you run a business from older premises in Three Leg Cross, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
After the job
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will typically be licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Test everything you are worried about at once
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Where asbestos turns up
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age aren’t enough.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Answers trades need before starting
- Soffit boards
- Debris found after DIY
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
At a school like Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

FAQs for 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.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you cover Three Leg Cross?

Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
