DIYbanter - View Single Post - Corrugated Asbestos Roof

wrote:
I have an outside loo and a shed both brick built in the
garden. They are joined to the house but you have to go
into the garden to get to them.

I was told by the surveyor when I purchased the house that
it had an asbestos roof which would have to be replaced.
The roof is corrugated (with quite a steep sloping angle)
and looks very much like a shed roof.

Most of the roof structure underneath is rotten and will
have to be replaced as well.

I have read the other posts on dealing with the asbestos safley
but my query is what can I replace the roof with. The only
corrugated roofing that I can find is the clear placstic stuff
which is not suitable since there is a loo as well.

You could use corrugated iron (easiest to get from BMs but
more expensive there than the slitter), or a Fr3nch product
called "Onduline" which is a bitumen-type corrugated sheet.

You could, however, put a slate (or tile) roof on, which
would look better. Is the plan of your house/outhouse like
this?

or what? Is the roof of the O/H single-pitch, or double-pitched?

Is this to be a D-I-Y?
