Can I say this was the best demonstration I have watched on installing a rubber roof, well done. Many other videos seem to make this look so complicated and frankly they make a right mess, yours looks great.
New subscriber here, playing catch up and enjoying the videos! I put a rubber roof on my shed a couple of years ago and it's doing well, glad you found the process as straight forward as I did. I have a question, as I about to build another, much smaller shed (3'x4") - is there any reason why you wouldn't go for a metal sheet roof over rubber? Metal sheets seem to be much cheaper than rubber, and probably last as long. I'd be interested your thoughts :)
Personally, I think you'd have less problems with rubber in the long run given that there's no holes to drill fixing to. However, I'm not a roofer and have never installed a metal roof... If it's just a small shed then the juice might not be worth the squeeze 😂
To be honest I didn’t look into the science of which is better too much. I just know that many people opt for rubber on these garden rooms . I like that there’s less height required, no fixings leading to leak points, easy installation and it’s affordable.
Excellent series, many thanks Do you have and can you share the full equipment list and cost, it would really help with budgeting Many thanks again brill series
No sorry I mean all the material as in a list would be great, I’ve got the breakdown of the wood but all the material other stuff you’ve used Loving your work!
Thanks 🙏 I am cladding vertically so there’s 50mm behind the cladding that will go up into that gap I left in the soffit. I’m planning to insulate the roof with PIR board and leave a 50mm gap above that too. I believe this will be plenty for ventilation. But honestly it’s my first time doing this so open to any feedback! 😀
@@sumeraybuilds I went belt and braces with soffit vents too but the gap behind my cladding is only 25mm so probably wouldn’t have been sufficient in my case. I think you’ll need to cut some notches or holes in your noggins so air can flow across the roof! How did you find the contact adhesive on the perimeter of the rubber roof? I left mine for ages to tack off but it still kept causing air pockets once laid. Nightmare. Rubber4roofs just said not to worry about it.
@chrisb2443 I did consider soffit vents, I still might. And drilling the noggins seems like a great suggestion for resolving the airflow surrounding them. I did notice some bubbling whilst drying but they’re gone now so I assumed that just happened due to the extreme heat we had that day (23 degrees)

Wow, thanks! 🙏 high praise indeed!
great work Jack. Looks amazing. And you are making it look really easy and doable. Smart postponing the glue for the evening. makes a huge difference.
Thanks 🙏 I’m so glad the roof is done now, it makes such a difference as it’s now a usable area, albeit not finished 😀 hope you’re well!
@@sumeraybuilds Its going to be an amazing space bud. Well done.

We use chalk lines instead of drawing a line on, on facia joiner just nail one side so it doesn't split when expanding ,good job looks great
Great tips! Thanks 🙏
Why rubber roof and not black corrugated steel? Is that because of the pitch?

Or you could have try to put the board up side down and you do the cut on the back on the board sort of saying … hope you understand me
Thanks 🙏
just love the way you go into every detail , build is excellent
Thank you very much!
Excellent series, many thanks
Do you have and can you share the full equipment list and cost, it would really help with budgeting
Many thanks again brill series
Thanks so much 🙏 When you say equipment, do you mean the tools I've used or the materials?
No sorry I mean all the material as in a list would be great, I’ve got the breakdown of the wood but all the material other stuff you’ve used
Loving your work!
Cracking job m8 made that look easy. Shops coming together nicely. Can't wait for next one 🏴👍
Thanks 🙏 I’m actually the least excited to fit the windows and door. But the cladding should be fun!
Loving your work and the commentary with it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Good save at 2:22 not revealing the cost to the Mrs 😜 looks great 👍
😂 it’s worth keeping somethings quiet haha 🙏 Thanks!
Looks fabulous! How are you ventilating this roof? …or are you filling it with insulation?

@@sumeraybuilds good luck with the rest of the build! Looking forward to the next instalment!
Brilliant job 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
Great job 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
