leaking corrugated asbestos garage roof

[andrewf75]

Hi all,
We have an old asbestos sheet corrugated roofed garage, which is leaking quite badly. The sheets have sort of cracked and you can see daylight through it in some places.

I got a quote from a firm recently who wanted £1700 to redo the roof with upvc sheets. Is that about right or would some local independent person be able to do it for much less?

I think its probably beyond squirting some kind of sealant onto it...

Cheers!

Would spending £30.00 on a tin of Evercryl on a cool cloudy day, and a strong large brush, not work wonders?

It's better than bitumen I say, and .... and it sticks like glue.

Thanks, it might be worth a try although brushing it on without falling through the roof might be a challenge!

Ouch!!!!! Don't do it!

Only if it's safe? I'd suggest a strong ladder horizontally placed.
