Found the shed roof has been leaking. Looks like a couple of the wooden roof beams have twisted apart and possibly ruptured the felt.
Are any of these emergency roof sealants any good to see me through till better weather and a proper repair?

Don't want to spend a fortune on it as I'm looking at getting rid for a garage build later in the year.

New roll of felt is bugger all from B&Q and an hour's job at most.

Held on with some tacks - it'll take an hour or so, and kep you watertight for a good few months at least...

I couldn't be arsed to navigate a proper builder's merchant's website smile, as you say, they should be a fair bit cheaper for probably better stuff...

Cheers. The roof is 3m x 7m, so more like a garage without the access. Guess I might just have to get up ther and get some new felt on.
