Fibre cement profiles

[pycoed]

I'm just mulling over re-roofing my garage/workshop which has had box profile colourcoat steel for the last 40 years. It is now showing the odd leak & the condensation has always been a nuisance, to the extent that I've hung lengths of gutter under the purlins to direct the drips away from lathes, mill, etc. This is why I'm thinking of changing to fibre cement.
I have another shed used as a kennels which has an old, almost certainly asbestos roof, now covered in moss which I don't intend to disturb. These sheets have a box profile which I think would look better than Big Six, but I don't know what this profile is called in fibre cement. All I have found to date is small 3" corrugated or BigSix/EuroSix profiles in fibre cement - Does anyone know what I should be looking for.

Stick with box profile , ay least you weigh it in

Gutter under the purlins, what a fantastic idea! Just have to work out how to go the full length of the shed.

The roofing style you describe could be Trafford tile. I used to buy repair sheets from John Hicken roofing in West Bromwich. It is expensive as it is now an obsolete profile. My building was 1952 which had it on.

Thanks, I'll research that, but if it IS obsolete, then that'll be a problem since I need roof lights in the same profile as well
