Shed Roof Re-Felting in Weston-super-Mare: Fast, Clean, Durable

A tired shed roof risks water damage to tools, lawn equipment and anything you’ve stored away for a rainy day. In the coastal climate of Weston-super-Mare, traditional felt coverings often fail first along drip edges and nail lines. We re-felt sheds, workshops and garden offices across North Somerset, delivering neat finishes, robust edges and smart drainage so your contents stay dry all year.

Why Shed Roofs Fail

  • Sun-baked felt becomes brittle and cracks over nail heads.

  • Wind lift at edges where drips and fascias have loosened.

  • Shallow falls allow water to sit along the back edge.

  • DIY patches peel within months and trap moisture underneath.

Our Re-Felting Method (What to Expect)

  1. Strip & Survey – We remove the old felt and inspect deck boards for rot or delamination, replacing where needed.

  2. Underlay & Cap Sheet – New underlay plus a high-quality cap sheet, using torch-on or self-adhesive systems depending on site constraints and proximity to boundaries or fences.

  3. Crisp Edge Detailing – Clean, formed drip edges and securely fixed fascias to resist wind uplift.

  4. Peel-Resistant FinishingBarge trims or edge metals installed where appropriate to prevent future peeling.

  5. Drainage Tweaks – We can realign gutters or add a simple collection path so water leaves the roof efficiently.

Upgrade Options

  • Heavier-weight felts for extended service life.

  • EPDM overlay for premium longevity on larger garden buildings and home offices.

  • Insulation layer beneath new coverings to reduce heat loss and winter condensation.

Care & Maintenance

  • Trim nearby branches to prevent abrasion.

  • Clear gutters/back edges after autumn leaf-fall.

  • Quick post-storm checks for any movement at edges or fixings.

FAQs

How long does re-felting a standard shed take?
Most sheds are completed in a single visit once access is set.

Can you fix rotten edges?
Yes—rotten deck boards are replaced before new coverings go on.

Will torch-on be safe near fences?
Where heat is a concern, we use high-performance self-adhesive systems instead.

Can I choose a colour or mineral finish?
Yes—choose classic green or charcoal mineral cap sheets.

Do you re-felt garden offices and studios?
We do—often recommending EPDM or GRP where longer lifespans and clean finishes matter.
