Me shed is leaking like a siv >:( Can anyone recommend a very good water sealant , the shed felt has cracked along the edges and no matter how much bitumen sealant i use it still cracks :(
-
Just get some new felt. It's pretty easy to pull the old stuff off and replace it.. unless it's rotten as a pear underneath. ;)
-
Agreed, I'd re-felt it.
-
As said re-felt it, however Fabsil is quite good :y.
-
No its not rotten its just the edges that have cracked and wont seal , only looking for a temp make do job :)
-
All that you've spent would have paid for the felt - its cheap

Especially when your next door neighbour builds a ruddy great summer house and gives you his left overs. :y

Mite slap some fiberglass on it then , no way im getting up on a ladder to re-felt :-\ That product thats called shed felt is like tissue paper , its ok ish on the flat but when turning the edges it splits >:(
-

Not if you gently heat it first.

Heat gun is far too hot. Just stuff it up the crack of your arse for two minutes. :y

It will always leak then.

I have erected a lot of sheds and I always throw the felt they give you because it is s*&t and put a good quality green mineral felt on, you can get it quite cheaply from B&Q or any other retailer if you get the fibre glass strengthened ones they last years, use felt adhesive as well to get waterproof seems. :y :y

Flat roofs will always, eventually, leak because they're not.....well.....flat. Little pools of water turn to ice and the felt has no chance.
-
The whole roof needs ripping off and making a higher run off but im not going to do that as plans have changed , just want to seal the leaks temp around the edges where its running underneath the felt where its split .
