Corrugated bitumen sheeting on the garage roof is also buggered, big pools of water on the floor, and the plaster boards coming down, so I bought some 13 foot profiled roof sheets this afternoon, so bit of luck I can get that on tomorrow rain or shine, and can get it dry before the bits arrive for the mig :)

Bubs if it's a flat roof it might be better to put a bit of a pitch on it
just to help it drain so no standing water which cold freeze!
Sorry I forgot what your garage roof looks like but after this thread
you can understand why I said it!

Its 18ft along one wall, 30ft along the other by 22 foot wide, its got a pitch, about 18 inches higher in the center, but the corrugated bitch sheet is just screwed to batton, so where the cats have been sat on it, especially in summer, its just way out of shape. So ive bought a load of used profiled steel sheeting. cats wont bend this stuff :)

It needs video, Rich. Pictures can't convey the sight of an incredibly well balanced, powerful RWD car being thrown around by someone who probably had the world's biggest ever grin on his boat. 8-)
