EPDM roof, hardwood doors and fixed windows
The original doors and windows had rotted through. A new EPDM roof, hardwood doors and fixed windows were installed, with shiplap infill used to keep the solution practical and economical.
The old felt had split and water had damaged sections of the summerhouse roof boarding. Damaged plywood was replaced in two areas before a new EPDM rubber covering was fitted.
The customer originally expected the doors to be replaced. We repaired and retained them instead, avoiding unnecessary cost, then replaced damaged cladding to extend the summerhouse's useful life.
