Shed Felting in Surrey
Shed felting is an important part of keeping garden sheds and outbuildings dry and protected from the weather. Over time, felt can lift, tear or wear away, allowing water to get in and damage the structure beneath. We carry out shed felting for homes across Surrey, repairing or replacing worn felt so your shed roof is secure, watertight and finished neatly without unnecessary fuss.
Book a Handyman for Shed Felting
Surrey Handyman provides a straightforward shed felting service for garden sheds and outbuildings across Surrey. This is the sort of outdoor job we regularly carry out, whether the felt has lifted in the wind, started leaking or simply reached the end of its life. We arrive with the tools needed to strip back old felt where required, fit new roofing felt securely and leave the shed roof properly protected from the weather. Booking is simple, and we will talk through the job with you beforehand so you know what to expect on the day.
How Long Does Shed Felting Take?
Expect a shed re felt to take 2.5 to 3.5 hours. This allows time to remove the existing felt, prepare the roof surface and fit new felt securely so it is properly fixed and weather resistant.
Smaller sheds or roofs in good condition may take less time, while larger sheds or roofs that need extra preparation can take longer. When booking, we will ask a few simple questions about the shed so the right amount of time is allowed for the work.

What to Expect When We Re Felt Your Shed
Re felting a shed roof is about making sure the felt is properly fixed, weather tight and finished neatly so it lasts. When your Surrey Handyman arrives, the work is carried out in a straightforward, methodical way to avoid problems later on.
Assessing the roof condition
We start by checking the condition of the shed roof, including the existing felt and the timber underneath. This helps confirm the best approach before any work begins.
Removing old felt
Loose, torn or worn felt is removed so the roof surface can be prepared properly. Any old fixings are taken out to leave a clean base for the new felt.
Preparing the roof surface
The roof boards are checked and brushed down. If there are minor issues with the timber, these are addressed so the new felt can be fitted securely.
Fitting new roofing felt
New shed felt is cut to size and fixed carefully, making sure overlaps, edges and corners are properly secured to prevent lifting in bad weather.
Securing edges and finishes
Particular attention is paid to the edges of the roof, where felt is most likely to fail if not fixed correctly. The aim is a tidy, long lasting finish.
Leaving the area tidy
Once the work is complete, old felt and waste are cleared away and the area around the shed is left tidy. You can check the finished roof before we leave.

Top Class Handymen
I’ve been using Surrey Handyman for nearly 4 years now and they’ve never let me down. As soon as they arrive they get on with the job and don’t play for time. Mike came yesterday and magically sorted out my door in record time! They also know exactly what they’re doing and do it well. Highly recommend.

I would definitely book Mike again and certainly recommend him.

Shed Felting FAQs
We can do both. If the felt has only lifted or torn in a small area, a repair may be enough. If the felt is worn, brittle or failing across the roof, replacing it is usually the better option. We can advise once we have seen the shed.
In most cases, we can supply the shed felt as part of the job. If you already have felt you would like us to use, just let us know when booking so we can check it is suitable.
We can re felt most standard garden sheds and similar outbuildings. Very large sheds or unusual roof shapes may need a bit more time, which we can confirm when discussing the job.
No, the shed does not usually need to be emptied. We just need clear access around the outside of the shed and safe access to the roof area.
Yes. New felt is fitted securely with proper overlaps and fixings to help prevent lifting in wind and heavy rain.
Shed felting is best done in dry conditions. If the weather is unsuitable on the day, we will discuss rescheduling to make sure the job can be completed properly.
