Hi,

I had an asbestos garage roof which was professionally and safely removed, then subsequently had a new roof fitted. 6 x 2s, OSB, PIR, EPDM. All that is fine and roof is sound. However, as you can see there is a gap at the front of the garage where the old gutters and drain are.

Can someone give me ideas of how to close this so the roof is sealed?

Looks diy.
Tell me about it!

FWIW I had a look at an old video of the previous corrugated roof, and they terminated in the same place, just where those 6x2s are sat - directing the water in to that drain.

Looks like the osb will need to be extended to form a drip detail after a fascia board has been fitted. Thats a fibreglass roof not epdm.

I'm a bit baffled..?
You had the roof re-built, insulation, deck, final roof covering and only once the final covering was in place, thought about completing it structurally?

WT actual F!! :oops:

I know! I was just as baffled as to why the builders did all that and yet left this gap at the front - They've not returned to resolve this so now I'm having to fix it myself
 
Fascia board, gutter and a drip detail.

There doesn't seem to be space for a facia board.

Something looks amiss.

And what is happening with the fibre glass matting that seems to have no gel coat in image number 2?
