We have produced a new version of this popular blog post updated for 2022. You can read it here. Now the weather is cheering up across the UK, it’s time to start planning the outdoor improvements you’ve been thinking about all winter. The autumn and winter months take their toll on outside buildings exposed to the elements – the most common of these being shed roofing. Shed roofing projects are not traditionally DIY jobs, due to the historic hazards and installation issues associated with old-fashioned roofing materials such as felt, for example. Although felt is a typically traditional roofing material, today’s modern alternatives not only give better performance and longevity, they are much easier to install.

Shed roofing with EPDM

EPDM membranes are fast-becoming the roofing industry’s go-to alternative to felt and other outdated roofing materials. The composition of EPDM as a synthetic rubber compound offers superior waterproofing qualities and resistance to the elements. With the ability to withstand temperature extremes, EPDM suffers none of the issues that felt does during hot, and then cold, weather. Felt materials often soften considerably during high temperatures, then when the temperature drops suddenly, felt becomes brittle and when bubbles form in the surface, they crack and allow water ingress. The properties of Firestone EPDM membrane result in a unmatched expected lifespan over any other membrane of more than 50 years. This is one of the biggest advantages of EPDM – life expectancy. EPDM shed roofing is likely to outlast an ordinary garden shed, removing any need for further shed roof replacement. EPDM membrane is ideal for shed roofing projects and is simple enough to install on a standard garden shed or garage for the average DIY enthusiast with skills. It is laid in a single sheet to negate the need for tackling potentially vulnerable joins.

Factors That Affect Roof Replacement Costs

How much a new roof costs depends on several different variables:

Type of shingles

Labor

Location

Roof size

Types of Shingles or Other Materials

Type of roofing material you choose is one of the most significant cost factors. Asphalt or composite shingles are the most common because they’re inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to install. However, there are differences even among this type of shingle, with basic three-tab shingles on the lower end and 30-year or 50-year premium architectural shingles on the high end. Tiles are another popular roofing material, and may be made from ceramic, clay, metal, wood, synthetic wood, slate, or concrete. Steel and aluminum tiles: These materials are the least expensive, whereas clay tiles are often the most expensive. Slate roofing and concrete tiles: Slate and concrete are priced mid-range, though they’re heavy enough that your roof may require additional reinforcement. Wood shakes: These are slightly different from wood shingles in that they’re hand-split and have a rougher appearance; shakes are also more expensive than shingles. You can also have a roof made from metal panels or sheeting. Corrugated steel and steel shingles are the least expensive materials for a metal roof. Copper and zinc are by far the most expensive, though they have the best durability. A metal roof costs $1–$25 per square foot on average. Flat roofs require specialized materials such as ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) rubber, PVC, or TPO. While these materials are cheaper, the labor to replace them usually costs more.
