Garage Roof replacement

Post by basil6345789 » Sat Jul 12, 2025 4:34 pm

I'm looking to replace my corrugated garage roof. It's not asbestos but is a synthetic fibre lookalike, so that makes it simpler. Will probably go for a flat sheet metal type, maybe with an anti condensation coating. Anyone know any local lads who do this sort of work, please? Ta.

Neighbours did that a couple of years ago ... will ask who when they come back from holday (they are doing the NC500 up in Scotland in their motorhome)

Re a flat sheet metal roof, my neighbour has one, which creates a lot condensation and drips down, when it gets cold. Not ideal if you store things in the garage. You maybe better off reading up on this problem, for a solution, or an alternative roof type.

Bloody tourists in motorhomes, clogging narrow roads and wrecking the landscape!😁

My mother used a firm in Bury called VSF. Her roof was asbestos though so this probably bumped the price up as a third party removal company had to get involved. Looks good though so would recommend them.
