I found that the corrugated asbestos/cement roof tiles appear to have blown during the freeze. I wen into the tool shed and found everything very wet, not damp. I cannot see any water ingress but the roof panels do have what I can only describe as small blisters of the roof that have partially detached from the main part. I believe that it is asbestos as the roof is original and the house was built in the 50's.

My tool shed shares its roof with next door so any repair would be a join effort. Is there any way that I can seal the roof temporarily until I get a permanent replacement roof.

I have some liquid damp course "paint" left over from some earlier work, would that suffice?

If the neighbour is reasonable explain the situation that its in both your interests to replace the lot when the good weather comes. Until then, just throw a big tarp or dpm over it and weight it down. Don't stand on it either :LOL:
 
I want to put a tiled roof on it as it is part of the house so once done we can expand into it. I think the neighbour wants to do the same as his part of the shed is already lined and I think plastered.

However a new roof will take a bit of time so what do I do in the meantime as a running patch, will the liquid membrane idea work? How easy is it to just replace a panel (I know we need to replace the whole roof). It is the lowest corner section on the roof but it sits under the one in front of it and the one next to it.

Is there a way to tell if the corrugated roofing panels contain asbestos? I have just had a look at the top surface and there are loose shards of panel sitting in the ridges.
