What repair services do we offer?

Whether you are a commercial customer or simply just a homeowner, we can offer high quality repair services that will meet your requirements promptly and safely to prevent any further harm to the shed roof.

What does re-felting involve?

To protect your shed from harsh weather conditions and to keep it looking great throughout the year, adding roofing felt to a shed is very important. The first step involves removing any old roofing felt by dismantling any existing wooden fascia boards, removing any nails that are sticking out in the process as well as any debris that is generated by removing the old felt. Next, the amount of felt needed for the shed is measured out by measuring the shed roof and then cutting the necessary amount of felt that is appropriate for the shed. The new roofing felt is then applied to the shed, securing the felt in place, tidying up any overhanging corners.

How can I mitigate future repairs?

Once we have performed any necessary repairs to the shed roof, you should find that you have a solid and waterproof shed that meets your needs. To keep your shed in the best condition once any repairs have been carried out, we would recommend insulating and then further waterproofing your shed to mitigate future damage or wear and tear, especially if you plan to store valuable items in the shed, or you spend a considerable amount of time in your garden shed.

It is important to bear in mind that your roofing felt will generally need replacing every 2-3 years on average, depending on how sheltered the shed's position is. However, using high quality materials for the felt and fitting it correctly will mitigate the amount of maintenance needed for the roof felt.

Replacement in Sevenoaks

If you want to replace the roof of your shed, this will require re-roofing the shed. Often, you may find that you have to replace your roof suddenly after severe weather conditions such as intense rainfall or high winds that may cause damage to your roof, such as water leaks from the shed roof. Obviously, we understand how important it can be to repair a leaking shed roof fast, especially when you may not have expected that it may need replacing. To prevent further damage to the shed itself, it is of vital importance to replace the shed roof quickly to protect the shed itself as well as the contents inside. If you store important, sentimental or expensive items in your shed, it is even more important for you to replace the shed roof quickly to prevent damage to these items.

If you find that you need to re-roof your shed, you have two options to choose from. The first is re-felting the shed by performing some simple repairs (see repair section). The other option is to completely replace the shed roof, which is more hands-on and time-consuming but may be necessary depending on the shed's current condition. Whilst felting a shed roof is generally faster to perform and is usually more affordable than replacing a wooden shed roof, it is important to consider that if your shed roof in Sevenoaks has rotten wood or has suffered some serious damage, it may be more useful to get a new garden shed roof, especially in the long-term as this is usually inevitable when the shed roof has sustained a significant amount of damage.

Which material should I choose?

When replacing your shed roof, it is important to decide what material you would like for the shed roof. When choosing the material, it is important to consider what works for your shed depending on the shed's look and feel, as well as the surrounding environment.

Why should I choose roof felt?

Shed roof felt in Sevenoaks is one of the easiest and quickest materials to fit to a shed roof. Once felt has been stored correctly, this creates a waterproof membrane which can seamlessly blend into its surroundings or you can choose a different colour of felt to make it stand out. Installing the new shed roof felt in Sevenoaksinvolves removing the previous shed roof felt and all the fixings that held it in place. Then, it's just a case of rolling out the new felt and fixing it into place with some nails.

Why should I choose roof shingles?

Roof shingles can also be very useful, representing excellent value for money as they offer a low-cost, attractive finish. Roof shingles are available in a wide range of textures and colours so you can pick the right roof shingles for your needs and tastes. For a more premium look and feel, bitumen an wood cedar shingles are also available. Felt shingles will fit any shed roof that has a 15 degree pitch or more with the added benefit of zero maintenance being required. Cedar shingles also require no maintenance but are best suited to roofs with a 14-degree to 90-degree pitch. However, cedar shingles are also effective at giving the shed roof a traditional wood finish that would easily complement the look of a traditional, wooden shed.

Why should I choose bitumen roof sheets?
