Asbestos removal for Tile Hurst properties
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and old flues, involving gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
In towns and villages like Tile Hurst, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Common questions in Tile Hurst
Do you cover Tile Hurst and the area around Polegate station?
Yes. Polegate station is about 3.4 miles south of Tile Hurst, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Tile Hurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Tile Hurst
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Tile Hurst, near Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the job needs notifying

How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The category of work
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
