Recently had a rubber roof put on extension. The company who did it gave me a price to do the following which I thought was excessive. I'm a senior citizen and the cost is unaffordable.
"Remove the asbestos board from the soffit and clear from site. To supply and fit a timber board if necessary, supply and fit a UPVC Freefoam over clad fascia board in white to all 3 edges and a new 3 plank hollow board to the soffits.Fascia board to be cut to fit including all fixtures and fittings."
I'm looking at doing it myself. So any help, advice fixing tips, much appreciated.
Please look at attached photos for clarification.
Extension was built over 30 years ago, width = 4.87m and length = 4.26m. Any particular reason asbestos was used? I understand I can remove asbestos myself, " using UN Certified UK Legislated for Asbestos Waste removal bags " Double bagged, book in with an authorised place to dispose of it, like local recycling centre. How would the asbestos been fitted in place, how can I remove it? The metal grill appears to be screwed in position.
Do I need to remove the asbestos, or I not leave it in place and somehow attach the 3 plank hollow soffit board to it?
What about the metal grill strip, should I not somehow retain this or some substitute arrangement to allow air to get into the roof space?
I see 5m lengthes of cladding 300mm with a lip to cover bottom of timber board are readily available, together with corner fittings and pins. I've not Googled fitting cladding to perimeter of extension, garage roof yet.
Many thanks.
