About our asbestos garage roof removal in Seven Dials
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Common materials are cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about lean-tos and carports and garages due for demolition.
In Seven Dials, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Seven Dials
Do you cover Seven Dials and the area around Tottenham Court Road station?
Yes, we cover Seven Dials, including the streets around Tottenham Court Road station.
My garage in Seven Dials has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
