Questions from Fitzrovia
Do you work near London Euston station?
Yes, we cover Fitzrovia, including the streets around London Euston station.
Is asbestos common in Fitzrovia homes?
If your home in Fitzrovia was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Asbestos removal in Fitzrovia
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Fitzrovia: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include textured coatings, cement roof sheets and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about loft water tanks and Artex ceilings before renovation.
Removal jobs around Fitzrovia often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Fitzrovia
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Fitzrovia, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What we deal with in Fitzrovia
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
On busy roads like the A501 and A4200, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it.
What to look for in a quote
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How fibres will be kept down
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
