Just noticed that our wooden garden shed roof is leaking in a few places. Has anyone re felted the roof on a shed and would I need a handyman for this job.
 
Hi Flahers2,

This happened to us before, and my OH was able to do the job - just got some felt in B&Q and then nailed it on - He just put it over the existing felt. Took him an afternoon - you do not need to be a DIY expert - fairly easy job ( so long as you have easy access to all sides of the shed).
 
I've done it also....Its not that difficult. Usually the pack of felt has instructions aswell
 
roll of heay duty felt, hammer, stanley knife and a handful of clout nails - just take off the timber edging of the roof, put felt on and fix in place with plenty of clout nails - make sure to fold and fix edging and bottom before putting timber battens back in place - should be a 1 hour job max. ensure top piece of felt folds over the ridge.
