I have a 1950s pre-fabricated garage with a corrugated asbestos roof. The roof appears to be structurally sound, but seems to have become porous in places and I get a large amount of water dripping in some areas: some of this may be condensation, although I cannot be sure.
Rather than replacing it altogether, largely due to the cost of disposing of the old sheets, I am considering over-cladding it with metal sheet with a matching profile, once I have swept off the moss.
Does anyone have any experience of doing this and are there any particular problems that I may encounter?
By the way: I have checked with our local council and they will only accept three or four small sheets of asbestos per year, wrapped and sealed and with a permit, so I cannot simply dispose of the old roof myself without a contractor.
Regards,
James.
