I have a shot corrugated cement/asbestos garage roof. I have checked with council and can take it to them for disposable. The garage roof has a pitch, not sure what the pitch is, but looks pretty standard upside down V shape garage roof! There are 2 lengths of metal perlins for each side of the roof, I have already bought some metal to install another length of perlin on each side of the roof, making three perlins for each sheet of material. I was thinking of using bitumen corrugated sheets from Wickes (http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/240039?htxt=6YwZAISW1i5OgIudElUVh4%2BI3KMD0YlK3aWM7EPIBJQVvJOxcInvY1H4JwBcSZ2MIfCIMv2VNq1z%0AWJ9bQPNXrg%3D%3D) but was worried that they are fairly flexible and may need more support. If they start to sag and end up leaking, then it will be a disaster. Am I being paranoid or should I use a cheap wood board first and then fix the bitumen corrugated sheets to this? If so what kind of wooden sheet should I use? Are the bitumen corrugated sheets the correct material or are they just cheap and nasty? I want something that will last and have a budget for material of around £500
Please can you give me some advice on how you would proceed with a project like this with this budget. I will update when I'm at home with some measurements of the length of garage and the spacing of the perlins and the length of sheet required. How can I easily measure the current pitch?
Thanks in advance.
