Removing loose sheets off shed roof

    Asking this on behalf of a friend. Their sheds were badly damaged in the storm and there are loose sheets of corrugate that need to be taken off in case of them coming down and hitting someone.
    The shed is the old type bay shed and the loose ones are very high up.
    Can't find anyone to come out and see them.
    Would appreciate any advice or contacts.

    Thanks

    Take care. Those old sheets could split a man in 2 if they fall from a height.

    We had a 3 bay shed n lean to that was damaged due to storm, we got local metal recycling crowd to come and strip roof. They did it for the steel in the sheeting, no other costs.

    Anyone know if the Cork Metal Companies do this. Would be ideal if they could.

    I assume that the damaged sheets will have to be replaced, so ask the roofer to include the taking down and disposal of damaged sheets in his price. He'll have the necessary equipment that's required - cherry picker, scaffolding, telescopic etc. It should work out cheaper than involving a second contractor or hiring plant & equipment.
    Make sure that the contractor has insurance etc. and check with your own insurance co. before commencing work.

    No won't be repairing sheds for a while, they're not being used and just want the loose sheets taken down as the slightest wind sets them off banging.

    If you don't replace the sheets taken down then the next strong wind to come will have access to the remainder of the roof and could carry the lot.

    I think you really need to think about replacing the sheets as it is a potential danger to anyone in the vicinity.

    The exposed timbers will also rot more, and leave the roof a lot weaker

    Hi Durrus,

    What width and length is your shed?
    Are you looking for a few sheets or a complete roof ?
    I may have some new unused curved sheeting for a 20 foot wide roof ( and some second hand sheeting for either 22 or 24 foot)
