Damp in garage problem found!!
 

I made a post a few weeks ago that made no headway as my explanation wasn't that good. Anyway my garage is at the end of a terrace of garages with a single skin brick wall and corrugated asbestos roof. I have found the damp problem I had originally posted about. The asbestos roof is pourous the bottom of it is soaking wet and it's also dripping in places. What can I do as I use it as a workshop type area with tools and bit's and bob's all over the place, that I obviously don't want getting wet/damp.

Are you sure about that? We haven't had much rain of late and
condensation can be sufficiently bad to drip in certain circumstances.

A product called acropol will reseal the roof sheets may require a primer if
very porous.

I've recently experienced the worst condensation that I've seen in my garden shed in
the 20 years it's been there (corrugated plastic roof, definitely leak-free).

If its really porous, most types of paint will de-pore it. But its much
more likely to be condensation.

Yes it does sound more likely to be Condensation thinking about it. Anyway I can stop this or at least reduce it.
