Rush Green questions
Are garage roofs in Rush Green normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Rush Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Rush Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price garage roof removal
When we quote, we look at:
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Step by step
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Rush Green by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Before we arrive
