FAQs

What size shed is this kit suitable for?

This 3 x 6m kit is designed to cover a roof area of that dimension, typically suitable for garden sheds or small agricultural buildings of similar size.

Does the kit include the timber for the shed?

No, the timber for the shed structure itself is not included in the kit. This kit only provides the roofing materials.

How long will the roof last?

The bitumen sheets come with a 15-year waterproof guarantee, offering long-term protection.

Can I install this kit myself?

Yes, the kit is designed for straightforward installation, but it is recommended to follow the provided instructions carefully or seek professional help if you are unsure.

What are the environmental benefits of this roof kit?

The corrugated sheets are made from bitumen-saturated organic fibres, making them a more environmentally conscious choice compared to some other roofing materials.

How does this roof kit handle noise?

The bitumen sheets provide good sound absorbency, which helps to reduce noise from rain or other external sounds.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes black corrugated bitumen sheets, black bitumen verge trim, foam fillers, and the necessary fixings.

Troubleshooting

Roof is leaking

Check for proper overlap of sheets, ensure all fixings are secure, and verify that verge trims and foam fillers are correctly installed to seal edges.

Sheets appear to be sagging

Ensure the underlying roof structure is adequately supported. Bitumen sheets should be fixed securely to battens or purlins at recommended intervals.

Fixings are not holding securely

Ensure you are using the correct fixings for the type of underlying structure (e.g., screws for timber). Do not overtighten, as this can damage the sheet.

Foam fillers are not sealing gaps properly

Ensure the foam fillers are correctly sized and compressed adequately. If gaps persist, consider using a compatible bitumen sealant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

It is recommended to follow manufacturer guidelines for overlap and fastening to ensure maximum waterproofing and wind resistance. Ensure the underlying structure is sound before beginning installation.

Compatibility: These bitumen sheets are compatible with most standard construction materials, making them suitable for use on timber-framed sheds or existing roof structures that can support them.

Care: Bitumen roofs are generally low maintenance. Periodically inspect the roof for any debris accumulation or signs of damage, such as tears or lifted edges, especially after severe weather. Cleaning can be done with water and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
