Chris · Answer

I would suggest 0.7 mm box profile metal sheets. With a polyester or pvc coating. With an anti condensation lining.

Daniel · Answer

I would advise a grp roofing system.
Might cost a little more but will last a lot longer. Has better durability and can be walked on too.

Chris · Answer

First you have to get specialist in to remove the asbestos and my advice would be to use tapco slate which are very light and durable there is no cheap way

Ryan · Answer

I would always recommend the old faithful torch on felt has worked for many years.

Jason · Answer

The best and most cost effective way is plastosol profile sheeting. The cost of removing the asbestos is quite expensive. The best way if you want to save the cost of removal is to overclad it. Apply new timber frame to allow the fixture of new
profile sheets. But bare in mind some people want the asbestos to be removed for
Safety purpose. Check the sheets are asbestos and not fibre sheets.
