Q2. What is a good cost effective alternative to asbestos cement
corrugated roof panels?

Box section steel sheet is about 6 quid a square metre, and is
available
in long lengths, so you could get away with no end laps at all.
Minimum
suggested pitch is 5 degrees iirc, or about 1 in 12. Fibre cement

I'm not sure what you refer to here, can you give us a link or
soemthing?



http://coruspanelsandprofiles.co.uk/

then

Products and services Roofs Site assembled Standard roof profiles
View Profiles R32-1000

takes you (I hope) to some basic data on one of the most common
profiles. I was wrong: it's 4 degrees (1 in 15). Note that it's also
often found in 0.5mm thickness, which imho is a bit thin unless you
support in continuously, as I did.

thanks Kevin. What a horrible website.
