Everything you need to know about waterproofing your home

I currently have an asbestos roof, and there are several leaks currently due to missing nails on the asbestos sheets, and some damaged/missing sheets. I would like to get a quotation for repairing the current roof, but also a quotations to replace the current roof with Tiles. I prefer an email communication.
I have a section of the roof that is flat. There is a hollow depression in the roof where water collects when it rains and it eventually seeps through or floods in through an adjacent skylight. the depression must be removed and resealed. There is water ingress through a chimney that was retro fitted, which needs to be repaired.
Old roof sheeting is rusting, some sheets are almost rusted through. will need to replace the roof sheets with galvanized iron sheeting. area is aprox. 4.5m x 3.5m.

The thatched roofing will be used on a lodge with gumpole structure. The size on plan = 78m2 On a slope of 45 degrees = m2 I'm looking for a square meter rate that will be applicable for other units as well. Rate should include the thatch covering, the gumpole roofing structure as well as the gumpole columns.
Garage roof is rusted through in spots, leading to water leaking through, damaging garage wall and door (see pics). Part or all of the garage roof may need replacement. Original roof is galvanised mild steel. Floor size of garage is 32m2, so roof is slightly larger than that. Roof is only slightly sloped (see pic).

I haver an existing IBR roof with the following issues: Flashing removed at parapet joining at all resulting in leaks all over the roof. Pitch is too low. Wood used is and not . Wood is rotten at some places. Beam in lounge is not according to plan leading to sagging. IBR sheets is still the old solid IBR and can be taken off and put back. I am not sure what the damage is underneath
Could you please quote me on the attached plans for a house at 36 Hillary rd in Mountain Homes. I would like to know which would you recommend, a Chromadek or tiled roof. Could you give me a costing for both, and if you would include the cost of putting either up. An itemized quote would be useful (Tiles / Chromadek & with or without installation) , and the turnaround time for installation would help me plan accordingly. many thanks
