Insulated roofing sheets..questions

[DAPPH]

A bit timely this thread as i have to replace the roof on my workshop this summer, its old asbestos cement & in a state, starting to leak in a couple of places. Good info on how to do the ends, i was wondering how that was done. My shed has celotex stuck up on the inside & the mice love it, you can hear the little sods munching & tunnelling through it at times. Waste of time shooting at them with the air pistol!

On one of my old concrete sectional double garages the roof's were covered in leaky asbestos . I got 50 litres of rubberised bitumastic paint , made up three scaffold boards with some old foam mattress taped to the undersides for crawling boards . Then proceeded to paint a large plastic rectangular bucket of the paint over the roof using two nice new nylon sweeping brushes. Prior to doing the job ensuring all the mounting points for the roof were secure and in the right gradient & the sheet securing bolts were nipped tight .


The week before I'd put on all new well creosoted woodwork on the whole garage ensuring that the barge board sides were touching the roof sheeting so they could be sealed to each other .
It took two days but was totally waterproof for years till we moved .
I also put new wider rubber strips down the sides of the up & over door and a new rain strip across the bottom using heavy duty thick pond liner .

I have not got most of it completed now just got a little bit of trim to do and some more screws etc



It was quite straight forward to do and gives a good finish. Makes the workshop look better externally and internally..

Next is to insulate the walls and clad it.
