Services & Advice
Advice
Site Selection
- Select a site where access will be possible all the way round the building, so that the timber can be regularly re-treated and any necessary maintenance work can be carried out
- Position doors and windows away from the prevailing wind.
- Avoid sites under trees, if unavoidable, order heavy duty roofing felt.
- Where the building has to be sited in a dip, or at the bottom of a slope, dig a ditch and fill with gravel for drainage.
- Any paths, patios next to the building should be laid at a lower level and should slope away from it.
- Keep plants growing close to the building, well pruned back. Ivy, clematis, hawthorn etc. can do considerable damage to roofing felt.
Maintaining your shed
Re-treat your building with an oil based wood preservative. Do this in Summer when the wood is dry so that the oil can penetrate the timber and repel damp and water through the Winter
Renew roofing felt as soon as it is necessary, do not wait for a drip to become a torrent.
Repair splits and missing knots (resulting from excessive drying out) with a wood filler such as “Tetrion” or “Metolux”.
