My son's garage had a roof leak and as it was asbestos and winter we did not
want to do anything at that time. We got a large sheet of polythene from B

gave us a dry garage until we did the permanent job.

My garage roof is made from that fibre board/cement board stuff (sorry I
don't know the correct term but you know what I mean)

A couple of the panels have now cracked.

Is there a way to repair these.

I did think of filling the crack with some sort of silicon or sealer both
from the outside and inside.What type of sealer should I use?

Is there a better way to repair these.
I am planning on replacing these panels when (if) the better weather comes
but hopefully can just repair for the time being.

cheers

My garage has a similar corrugated roof, but how do I tell if it's
asbestos or cement fibre board? The garage is in a block built around
the early 60's, with pre cast concrete/stone rendered sections for the
sides. I think Marley made them.

I've just scraped all the moss off mine and noticed a few cracks, so
will need to sort it out when the weather improves.

Thanks, David.
