Default Garage Roof

Garage roof has been collecting water for a while. Now it's dripping through
and bowing. Time for action but what are the difference in prices/best to
go for?
Bit of googling shows standard asphalt, fibreglass and epdm. I'd never heard
of the last two. Want something that will 'see us out'

Cheers,

Trev

I would go for a metal roof, (cheapest option) as the roof structure is
obviously knackered if it's sunk.
The fall (slope) will have to be checked and maybe adjusted.

Fibre glass is resin and glass fibre matting laid up in situ.
epdm is butyl rubber similar to fish pond liner.
Both need a good substrate to lie on (which you haven't got any more).
