Replacing corrugated asbestos-cement garage roof
My garage has corrugated asbestos-cement garage roof, which is cracked
beyond repair (I've emergency-sealed cracks and new ones now appear) so I want to replace it. (I know my local tip will take it with advance notice). The company that built it will replace it for not a great deal of money (about 250 quid I was quoted last year I think) but they will use fibre-cement sheets. However I've seen that you can get bitumen type corrugated sheets from B&Q/wickes etc for about 7 quid a pop. So the question is, which is the best material for a garage roof? I kinda get the feeling that with fibre-cement it'll have the same brittle characteristics and will degrade over not many years. Are the bitumen sheets any better/worse? Thanks, Simon |
