FAQs for Rudgwick
Do you cover Rudgwick and the area around Christs Hospital station?
Yes. Christs Hospital station is about 4.6 miles south-east of Rudgwick, and we cover both.
How far is Rudgwick from London?
Rudgwick is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
The scope of garage roof removal
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials in Rudgwick

- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across West Sussex.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garages in a row or block
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single garages
- Lean-tos and carports
Across Rudgwick, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

What it might be made of

Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
What happens
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Rudgwick by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
