We had the flat roof of our utility room fibre glassed last summer after it had developed a leak in one corner. It wasn’t cheap but looks great and should last until we retire and sell the shop.
Problem with my loft
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
I did a reply to this earlier but for some reason not posted

All depends on how many layers of matting put down,get them back
Worked at Birchwood boats they built Super Cruisers out of fibreglass for the Saudi Arabians costing millions also for the Mega rich all over the world.
My mates used to laminate ponds for clients at weekends…Koi enthusiasts none have leaked in years!
It was done by a good company and someone I have known for years. They also fitted 10 new double glazed windows and 3 new double glazed doors, including one set of French doors, for us over the last couple of years. They are now going to do up the front of the shop as we have been given a council grant to improve the high street. The council have agreed to pay 70% of the cost. They also do a lot of work for Wincanton race course and Yeovil hospital. Alan also supplied me with most of the materials I used to do up the back of the shop, all at his trade cost price.pvdmr wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 11:07 pmAll depends on how many layers of matting put down,get them back

Unfortunately after a few days of wet weather my birds once again have had to grow webbed feet 
I have had to pile up the litter pellets to try and soak it up and yesterday had to resort to putting several buckets around to catch the drips
as I can't afford to change the roof at the moment I have been looking into other temporary solutions, I have a couple of options (roof repair tape or mastic) so will be going shopping today to see what I can get. Today looks mostly dry and tomorrow isn't looking too bad either so with any luck the roof will dry enough for me to do the temporary repairs 
I'll let you know how it goes

Could you use any of that brush on bitumen, I have polythene under my felt, you could fasten some black bags over it or get some of those tarpaulin sheets you can pick them up for couple quid or as a last resort get a lorry tarpaulin sheet cover it in one then, any haulage yards by you or local most will give the old ones awayTrev wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:39 am Unfortunately after a few days of wet weather my birds once again have had to grow webbed feet

That's a bugger, Trev. 
It's going to be difficult to fix as if you fix one problem the water will find the next weakest place.
Buster may be right, a tarpaulin over the whole roof might be the answer. Or if they do 12' wide black plastic sheet off the roll over there, and I am sure they do, you might cover the whole thing in a plastic sheet. That'll keep the rain out.

I got some pond liners which are similar as they are plastic and yes they work great I have them on my other shedsMurray wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:07 pm That's a bugger, Trev.

Well on Friday I did go and buy a tin of bitumen paint on roof repair which it says you can apply inbtye rain, I'd like to say it does what it says on the tin but sadly it doesn't. I did manage to apply it in the rain but not quite as easily as suggested and so far it does seem to be working When the roof dries out properly and it's a bit warmer I will give it another coat to ride me over until the end of the season but for now I'll just keep my fingers crossed
Thanks for the continued support and advice guys

Trev do not forget when gets hot the birds if they land on it will get sticky as it sort of melts in the heat, see if you can find some plastic, old felt or something to drop over it until you can repair roofTrev wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 8:28 pm Well on Friday I did go and buy a tin of bitumen paint on roof repair which it says you can apply inbtye rain, I'd like to say it does what it says on the tin but sadly it doesn't.
