About our asbestos removal in Soho
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about loft water tanks and Artex before plastering.
In towns and villages like Soho, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

How we price asbestos removal
Our quotes take into account:

- The survey scope
- How much there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

After we’ve finished in Soho
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. We plan outdoor jobs in Soho to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
Ask for a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.

Common questions in Soho
Do you cover Soho and the area around Tottenham Court Road station?
Yes, we cover Soho, including the streets around Tottenham Court Road station.
Do you work in Soho despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

Duty holders and landlords in Soho
For managing agents and freeholders in Soho, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
