I have an old pre-frabricated garage, which is made up from pieces of

the concreate slabs which make up the walls.

A "Building Silicone" or a polysulphide sealant (toolstation sell both)
used with a mastic gun (they sell those, too) along the joints might be
the first thing to try. Seems unlikely that much is getting through the
panels themselves, so covering the lot with magic solutions is probably
a waster of money.


Any advice would be helpful.

Well, most advice...


Not sure about the seal situation but i have just been on an 'Asbestos
Awareness' course so i would urge you to make sure that your garage
isnt made out of asbestos cement... this was heavily used until the
mid 70's on as it gave a really high strength to the concrete without
taking up too much room like rebar does. Its no problem unless its
broken or chipped though. Better safe than dead in 20 years!!

Not a very good course, then, eh?
