hi
bit of an old picture but it is the garage roof at the bottom of the garden the big one
its a double garage been made into a large single, i bunged it up years ago and its now getting that the roof needs doing and also some of the side parts need replacing...
here is a better picture showing the roof, its old corrugated asbestors or concrete
any suggestions please...
thanks simon

You could board it like a shed and then use roof shingles.
Very common in places like Canada.

Do you know its asbestos, as that's expensive to remove, and really should be done by a specialist.
I would re roof with galvanised corrugated iron. That will last a long time, and should be relatively simple to do.

It wont be expensive to remove as it's his own garage.
Lots of water on the roof as you strip and double bag it.
Your local civic tip will accept it.
Check with your local tip to see if they accept asbestos
and check surrounding towns to see if they accept.

double six sheets can be carefully removed and double bagged ,but i wasnt aware that local tips would take it
last time we did one it cost us £450 for a secure skip that took it away
TBH simon you are better off not touching it if possible

Ha ha you lot make me laugh, I'm not worried what it is I will use all PPE and as said my local tip will take it.
The car is a 1989 vw caddy mk1 lol like this
I bought this garage years ago of fleabay, and the sides was made of the same stuff as the roof, I just run it down the local tip, no probs.
Right chaps to do the roof and possibly the sides I must be looking at a good few quid.
Do you think that corrugated sheets will be ok for the sides to?
Thanks Simon

Canny bit of parking, though, even for a VW Caddy!

Local tip will take it , but it has to be well sealed. I took an old water tank down ours last year, no problems, just had a huge covered skip to chuck it in, funnily enough, they guys didnt give you a hand ,they just pointed to the skip :p :laugh:

the material on the outside is'nt going to last long. if i was you i would nail 3/4 batterns vertical, then nail feather egde board to that. couple hundred quid should do it. did my shed the same, see if i got a pic.
