How asbestos garage roof removal works in Rusper
If you are not sure your garage roof in Rusper is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In a village like Rusper, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What affects the price in Rusper
We base our quote on:
- The survey scope
- Access to the area
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

The process

- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

FAQs for Rusper
Do you come out to small villages like Rusper?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Rusper from London?
We cover Rusper, about 27 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we have finished:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
