I'm over at King's Lynn. Done a few pitched, tiled roofs in my time. Nothing to it really.

Right there are a couple of pics one from the front and one from the rear as the rear lets you see the side section a little better.

To be honest the wood under the felt I believe is knackered it's sagging a little in places.

Ahh kings Lynn nice and local to me then

WOW thats a BIG man shed

Dunno what use it is, but my new one has been boarded out with 20mm tongue and groove boards(actually think a bit thicker, I know the walls are that thick) you can stand on it!

I'm guessing from my experience, but that structure doesn't look like it's got a cat in hells chance of taking a tiled roof, it only looks like approx 12 degree pitch so your choice of tile would be limited to.

If you have to structure for a tiled roof, then buy 30-40 square metres of tiles @£8 a metre, under felt, under cloaking, lathe etc, you wont do that for £700 I'm afraid.

have used coroline corrugated sheets or similar in the past and they are crap,after a few years they sag and resemble corrugated cardboard,looking at you shed i would say stick with felt,but go for the proper thick stuff not the cheap b&q stuff that aint any thicker then paper,(felt is sold by weight & rolls are 10 meters long,so atleast 20kg rolls pos upto 38kg rolls )and if the t&g is past it replace with 18mm ply,if done well with the right mineral felt it will last 20 years

Morning all

I'm going to look into the rubber roofing idea this morning when I get moment at work.

Probably best to replace the roofs wood as well to be on the safe side.

I'm pretty fond of the rubber roof idea will need to get a price on that for whole roof
