Questions from St Giles
Can you work in St Giles with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Tottenham Court Road station?
Yes, we cover St Giles, including the streets around Tottenham Court Road station.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you cover St Giles?
Yes. We cover St Giles and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Asbestos garage roof removal in St Giles
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and pieces of broken roof.
In parts of London like St Giles, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
What we deal with in St Giles
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
- Carport roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
Older houses in St Giles, near Soho Baptist Chapel or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

What it costs
