In 2009 my first ever thread in this forum was my from scratch 8 x 16ft pent roof shed which cost me £750 in materials total waterproof.
Now 15yrs later my felt has gained a few minor leaks and its time for a re-roof either in felt again or epdm?
I know a local roofer who does lots of felt work and as I am getting closer to my 80's I thought I may not be able to manage rolls of roofing felt any more, so asked him for a price to refelt it if I did all the stripping off and prep work.
He asked for £750 which was my original total build cost and in my opinion too much although I have yet to ask others to quote. Materials for me to fit felt would be 3 x rolls premium felt £150+£26 felt adhesive, So £201 plus a man to lift it up there!
As an alternative I am considering epdm, it comes in 1 roll roof size so if I get someone to lift it onto the roof I just need to be able to roll it out over the rollered on tub of glue I need to seal it down. I can get the materials for this delivered for £250 which makes it my sort of pricing
Anyone got any idea on Kent pricing for a re felt or would edpm be a better bet? Both are likely to outlive me but it would still be nice to think it was done correctly for the fully grown "kids" to fight over![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
