Hi,

Does anyone know approx.how much is costs to replace a single garage felt roof?  Mine's leaking and I don't want to spend a huge amount getting it done.  I'm also not sure if some of the wooden beams may need replacing due to the rain leaking in.

Thanks!

The best thing to do is get at least two quotes.  The cost can vary and all anyone on this forum can do is guess.  Could be a very misleading guess! 

All the best Aunty P

There are a lot of things to do before you pay builders.

First, can you spot where the leak is?

if you can is it a big hole in the felt roof?

if you can see the leak and where is coming in and the hole is no more than a few inches wide and a few feet long then simple go to any builders and buy a role of flash band, its about £12 a role, go to B&Q and buy a cheep £9.99 plumbers burner, place the flash bang where the damaged area is as heat the underside of the flash band, this is like tourch on felt and will mold and seal the leak.

Builders charge about £180 just to do that.

if its any worse message me and i'll tell you how to solve it
