About our asbestos garage roof removal in Soho
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and broken sheets after high winds, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Garages around Soho are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Garage roofs in Soho
Soho is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We work across Soho and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Soho is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A4 and A301, tell us about parking and access. Near open spaces such as St. James's Park Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Wherever your property is in W1F, W1T and W1D, we can help with garage roof removal, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a property on Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane. Soho is on the A4 and A301, which makes it simple to get to. If your property is just outside Soho, we also cover West End (1 mile east), Chinatown (1 mile south), Seven Dials (1 mile east), St Giles (1 mile north-east) and St James's (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).
As a London location, Soho is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: let us know about parking and access when you get in touch.
A little further out are Montfichet's Tower (1.3 miles east) and Westminster St James (under half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake and Ludgate Hill.
- Schools near Soho include LITE Regal International School (0.6 miles west) and Harris Westminster Sixth Form (0.9 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include Bar Soho (within half a mile north)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include London Library (0.5 miles south-west)

Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- Access to the area
- The quantity or area
- The survey scope
- The category of work
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A picture of the whole area

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
