Asbestos removal near Tinkers Cross
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Common materials are water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about old waste on site and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In places like Tinkers Cross, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Duty holders and landlords in Tinkers Cross
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tinkers Cross, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Covering London and the South East

Tinkers Cross questions
Could my house in Tinkers Cross contain asbestos?
If your home in Tinkers 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.
Do you cover small places like Tinkers Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area

Can I do it myself?
