We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. People often contact us about old, cracked sheets and broken sheets after high winds, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Rudmore, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

How we price garage roof removal
Every quote reflects:
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Approximate dimensions
- The access route
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Rudmore questions
Do you cover Rudmore and the area around Portsmouth & Southsea station?
Yes, we cover Rudmore and the area towards Portsmouth & Southsea station, about 1.1 miles south.
Do you cover Rudmore from London?
Rudmore is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Rudmore were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What we deal with in Rudmore
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garage conversions
- Concrete-panel garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-tos and carports
Older houses in Rudmore, near The Grapes or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Reports and results you can share
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
