I made a post a few weeks ago that made no headway as my explanatio



wasn't that good. Anyway my garage is at the end of a terrace o garages with a single skin brick wall and corrugated asbestos roof. have found the damp problem I had originally posted about. The asbesto roof is pourous the bottom of it is soaking wet and it's also drippin in places. What can I do as I use it as a workshop type area with tool and bit's and bob's all over the place, that I obviously don't wan getting wet/damp

The message from Alec contains these words:

Are you sure about that? We haven't had much rain of late and condensation can be sufficiently bad to drip in certain circumstances.

A product called acropol will reseal the roof sheets may require a primer if very porous.

I've recently experienced the worst condensation that I've seen in my garden shed in the 20 years it's been there (corrugated plastic roof, definitely leak-free).

If its really porous, most types of paint will de-pore it. But its much more likely to be condensation.
