The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. The work area is kept clear while we are working. Late-December sunset in Ruscombe is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Ruscombe
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

How we price garage roof removal

What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:

Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

FAQs for Ruscombe
Do you cover Ruscombe from London?
Ruscombe is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Twyford station?
Yes, we cover Ruscombe and the area towards Twyford station, about 0.5 miles south-west.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you cover Ruscombe?
Yes, we do: our area includes Ruscombe and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
