Tinsley Green: your questions answered
Do older homes in Tinsley Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes. Gatwick Airport station is about 1 mile north of Tinsley Green, and we cover both.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Tinsley Green
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:

Around Tilgate Lake, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Before you book anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Any exclusions
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:

What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A clear close-up
