Tin Men

Tin Men is a family-owned business based in Silverdale, Auckland. The firm comprises of two divisions – Scrap Metal Buying and Deconstruction/Demolition.

Scrap Metal – The processing of heavy metals (100% of which is sold to SIMS Metals and Commercial Metals) • Non-ferrous materials such as Copper, Brass, aluminium and Batteries. Our scrap is picked up by our own trucks. Approx. 70% of that is delivered directly to the city for processing with only the remaining 30% transferred onto other larger trucks for delivery to either Sims or Commercial Metals yards. • We have invested heavily in equipment such as a variety of bins/hook bins, forklifts, trucks, diggers with magnet/grapples that is regularly maintained and upgraded. We buy scrap cars too.

Deconstruction / Demolition – Our 30 years+ experience and expertise takes us throughout New Zealand assisting in complex and difficult deconstruction projects that others are not willing to tackle. Our work often involves Hazardous Materials such as Zinc, Lead, Arsenic and Asbestos, so together with Smart Safety Solutions we have created a robust Health and Safety Management Plan. We pride ourselves on a “safety first” approach. We often partner with industry leaders in other areas of expertise in order to see major projects across the line – in particular Asbestos Removal. In order to achieve a high standard of works and output we have invested heavily in machinery and equipment.
