Hi,
Ive just bought my first house and the workshop needs re-roofing, as its got a terrible leak causing it to smell badly inside. Ive measured the roof thats currently on there, and its 5.00m long by 3.35m wide, its pitched in the centre (2.50m either side), but only has a small angle on it. I need to re-roof it as cheap as possible, so decided to do it myself, saying that ive never done it before, but it looks reasonably straight forward. Any idea where to source the materials from? Screwfix, travis perkins or would a local wood merchant be cheaper? Also what type of felt etc would be best to use, bearing in mind that I need it to be cheap, but also last a while. Are there any guides around to show me the best way to re-roof? Are traditional nailed on felt better than pre-adessive? Will I need underlay? Its going to be used as a shed for storing stuff and the Occassional bit of work in there, but mainly it will have my home multi-gym in there and be used most days all year round.
I know there are alot of questions in there, and im probably not too clear, but i basically want to make an ok job of re-roofing my workshop/shed for as cheap as possible. Please help me.
Thanks,
Dave the (poor) fireman
