Get you shed roof recovered with new felt.
We can remove the old felt then remove any existing timber fascia boards and put to one side. We use a claw hammer to remove any nails left behind from holding down the old roofing, then strip the old felt.
We measure the roof of your shed and make sure there is enough felt to cover the entire area of the roof with a little extra on each edge to allow for overlaps at the eaves, and at the gable ends. For most sheds we need to cut 3 pieces of felt: 1 for each side of the roof, as well as a third section that will overlap the 2 side panels by about 30 cm on either side and run along the top ridge of the shed.
We tidy up the overhang at each corner by folding it down and nailing it securely and use a craft knife to cut a slit in the felt overhang at the apex of the roof, then fold the felt down there and nail securely along the gable. We then re-attach fascia boards to keep your shed looking smart by hiding the folded over roofing felt at each gable end, using wood nails to secure them in place.
When that’s done, we work along the sides of the shed, tucking the felt overhang up and under and hammering in nails to hold it in place.
