I have had a few applications leak after about 5 years when using valley fixing where constant cleaning didn't happen. This has happened to mine which is why it leaks now, the over hanging trees from a house in the next street ( gardens are back to back) have basically worn through the sheets in places, and despite cutting the offending branches and clearing the leaf litter away every spring , it never takes long before its back to being a pain, also with the leaf litter on there, that attracts moss which is another issue. The moss builds up collecting leaf litter and before you know it its leaking in all over the place. A pitched roof is the answer here I am aware, so that is another option.

Smudge62 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Have a look at this, it is very long lasting and won't break the bank. Use a wood panel saw coated with white spirit to cut it to size to stop the saw sticking. https://www.roofingmegastore.co.uk/roofing-brands/corrugated-sheets/onduline.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_4r59O7n7gIVBbDtCh0tVwcCEAAYASAAEgIfG_D_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIY-Si Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 At that price, I'd be very tempted. It's also cheaper than my Travis account! I need to have a word..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roof was timber sheeted so corrugated sat on top, don't know how good it is at spanning between purlins and I certainly wouldn't walk on it without crawl boards. Now taken down I am still using them for smaller jobs although they do like growing moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the more options there are the harder it is to decide what to do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Ideally onduline needs to be on top of ply is OSB as they can sag in sunlight if not well supported... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically made by onduline if I remember right. I did my previous garage roof in the stuff, it was about 18m2. a couple of things to note. you can get cracking deals online for the 3mm onduline. It does have a minimum pitch which is easy to make out of timber and OSB sheeting. It also has a designated amount to overlap based on the angle. I found it easy to handle although a bit of a pest to cut with a hand saw. using their nails which had an incorporated cover made it very straight forwards and if you follow the guide lines comes with a 15 yr guarantee. would help if i read all the posts (just browsing while in a very boring meeting) I think that link was where i bought mine from. It really is easy to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 @OldStager I thought I would post an update. We have had our asbestos garage roof replaced today. It took the 2 guys 2.5 hours in the cold wind and rain. The anti drip coating got wet at the edge and he was able to demonstate how absorbant it is and how quickly it dries out, which was good. We are really pleased with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks really smart, I think I have decided to use the same stuff, but it's a summer job for me. Thanks for the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeg Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 @Julie Hall - Peak District AOGlen’s garage lighting looks like it needs an upgrade too 🤔 dim fluorescent lights at his age he needs some better and brighter ones to be able to clean Rita properly 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
