Default Waterproofing a cement asbestos roof.

Our 1960s house has a corrugated roof of what is presumably cement
asbestos.

The roof is intact but there is some water ingress. I suspect this is
due to water entering through joints rather than permeating through the
asbestos cement.

The roof is under a 60 feet high tree and has quite a coating of moss
and twigs. Removing them would be difficult without risking breaking
panels and the moss etc probably cushion the panels against falling dead
branches.

Any ideas of how I could waterproof it from the inside?


I expect you are on a hiding to nothing attempting to fix this from the
inside alas. By the time the water gets there, its too late.
