Full re roof. As per other post, 10 year guarantee means nothing if the company is no longer in business. You have several other options:-Hi all
We have a 10,000 sq ft barn with a pitched roof. It has a few cracks and considering repairing it (using a company that cover cracks and seal with a 10 yr guarantee) or a full re roof.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Depending on how you want to do the roof you can either use a grid system and over clad with either Box profile, Corrugated or new fibre cement or you can use a foam filler / GRP over clad system which you would use a 25mm foam filler block to match the existing / new profile and then fix a new GRP Roof over the top in asbestos grey colour.
I have a sample in the office of the second option, I will upload a picture tomorrow.

How does the fixing system work over old roof lights ?
With old discoloured roof lights, presumably you'd need to extract the old light first , either by sawing it out or loosening enough adjacent sheets to slide the old roof light out?
Does the spacer then work if there's no sheet under for it to rest on?
@focussed, what did you do?Hi all

Do you need to take the old fixings out first, i have a couple of sheds i would like to cover, one is big six one is three inch, both have nail fixings into timber not J boltsMy apologies for the delay i only realised i didn't uploaded the picture for the GRP overclad system today.
I understand @ewald, it's a rented barn and not sure the landlord wants to pay money to get it fixed. Was wondering if it's possible to get second hand ones. Thinking about it, it's a crap idea, they would be no better than the ones already on the roof. What sort of price could I possibly be looking at paying for a big 6 equivalent??You are not supposed to reuse asbestos sheets - any second hand sheets are likely to be asbestos and not fibre cement. Removal of damaged sheets without damaging adjacent sheets can be tricky- they get very brittle.
For odd cracked sheets I have used Perspex or grp sheets - loosen or remove bolts and slip in, leaving existing broken sheet. No reason why it shouldn’t last quite well.
