Best roof to replace asbestos on garage

Question

What's the best replacement for an asbestos roof on a garage? It's a concrete garage which is in relatively good condition, but we'll need to keep material and labour costs down as much as possible due to the price of getting the asbestos removed.

I would replace roof with new timbers and tongue and groove OSB boards and surface with a torch on adhesive felt

David · Answer

Your best option would be a flat felted roof. You’ll need so sheets of thick osb board and the felt and the bonding compound which is relatively cheap and by far the easiest to install

Hi there, in my experience, the best and the cheapest way to cover a garage roof is to use a 3 layer torch on mineral, I have a friend in the trade and he is very reasonable with his prices.

Best roof to go with is osb ply roof board and 3 layer felt or liquid rubber roof

Robert · Answer

If your looking for a cost effective flat roof after removing the old felt will always be the cheapest option if the build get wasn't an issue rubber or fibre glass would last longer

Duncan · Answer

Hi Bill. We’ve replaced many of these asbestos roofs and find the preferred option to be a fibre cement sheeting. Alternatively a corrugated sheet can also be a cost effective replacement.

Look for roof tile panels. They look like the real thing but without the weight, made of aluminium......
Fix the lathes accordingly to the tile panel size. 
It's a job for a fixer/joiner not necessarily a roofer

Edward · Answer

Fibre cement sheet roof. Could be boarded and felted but more cost effective with putting sheets on.

The new roof replacement would all come down to how much of a pitch it had on the roof if it was flat enough for a flat roof system or had enough pitch to put tiles on which would be your cheapest option.
