Coal shed re-roofing

[Richard Lindsay]

Looking for some advice on how to re-roof my little coal shed.

I’ve just had my main roof redone using Cupa Heavy 3 slate and ideally I’d like to slate this to make it look the same.

However, I don’t think the angle is correct for slates? Would re-felting be the way to go?

How should I tackle the area where the side of the house meets the felt/slate and the guttering?

I will also be replacing the rotten wood.

Thanks

Replace it like-for-like. If you try and pitch a roof up there, you'll end up clashing with that awkward SVP junction.

A small offcut of EPDM off eBay (and a bit of YouTube research) would be best for a DIY job.
