FAQs for Tinsley Green
Do you work near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes. Gatwick Airport station is about 1 mile north of Tinsley Green, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Tinsley Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Yes, we do: our area includes Tinsley Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Tinsley Green?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.

Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why people choose us

After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Once we are done:
- Photos of the material and the route in help

- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Broken sheets in gardens
In a school like Forge Wood Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before booking
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
