What else we do in St George's Fields
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

St George's Fields: your questions answered
Do older homes in St George's Fields have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in St George's Fields can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in St George's Fields despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work done to the regulations
