I have a double length garage with asbestos/cement corrugated pitched
roof.

The original ridge which is steel has corroded to nothing in many
places and needs to be replaced as the garage is open to the elements
in those places.

I was planning on using bitumen ridge tiles made by various people,
also Wickes do them.

The roof itself is in good condition.

I was goung to use a sterling board crawler, the old ridge can be
removed from inside as it is bolted through, worst way the bolts can
be ground off and the ridge pushed off through the gap.

I've read here that people have said that they would not go onto the
roof even with a crawler board, I had always assumed it would be ok.

Has anybody has experience of tackling this job, I really don't want
to replace the roof as it would cost £1000s.

I would appreciate any comments.

Thanks in advance.


If the roof is asestos you do need to be very careful.Â* It would be
worth checking if that really is the case.Â* There are specialist
asbestos removers and they might give your a free quote and tell you if
the roof is made using asbestos.



'Free' quote followed by stupid price to remove and dispose.!
