Garden room rubber roof, fascia and soffit installation with a grass roof.

We are fitting the rubber roof on this one. It wasn't cold enough to be a worry due to the water based glue freezing so ploughed on!
We also fit black soffit and fascia, and I've tried to give you as much detail as possible.
We are constantly looking for new ways to enhance or modify our builds and on this one we decided artificial turf was the way to go.
I think this will be a common extra from now on.

[@mburkevidz]

TBH a garden room isn’t in my plans, but honestly, I could watch you all day - love your presenting style, and so informative, not only explaining procedures but also why you choose to do it in certain ways ........, just wish I could afford ya ;-) then again, wish I had a garden half as big as some of your customers. Deserve all the success this years gonna bring for ya

Great job again, and straight to the point no faffing around presenting 👍

[@zakkychan123]

Awesome video! I was thinking of doing a grp fibreglass roof as it offered longer lasting protection, but this rubber roof and astro turf combo has completely changed my mind as it looks flipping fantastic, cheers!

[@andymac77vlogs34]

Evening Mr. Griffin. A splendid job yet again from yourself and your tireless team. The addition of the fake lawn looks amazing and I think all previous builds may have this installed themselves too! Can’t think of anywhere better to build a crazy golf course on!! 👌🏼

[@frenchgreguk]

Just come across your channel, I am a chippy, it's nice to see that you take such care and use top end materials for your builds. Great and thorough work, every steps well explained. Wish you every success. Top man

[@BB49.]

“I will send it in, if it feels a bit stiff, I will pull it out” I only discovered this channel about a week ago and love to watch the builds. But this is pure filth and needs to be x rated! I have watched two videos today and both have been disgusting and I love it. Keep up the double entendres I will keep a look out.

Love the roof. I did the same on our bike shed. It sits under the kitchen window and was a bit of an eyesore. With the artificial grass, it throws the eye and you think you’re looking at then lawn!

Like the astroturf roofing nice touch 👍

[@makeyourownfreedom2839]

Genius application for astroturf! It looks way better, physically protects the roof, blocks uv, you’re less likely to slip off the roof adds insulation... the only improvement would be a golf tee or 2...👌

[@tonywhittenham2067]

Great job

[@TurinTuramber]

I done a garden office with sedum roof for a customer, came out nice. Wins over a lot of jealous neighbours.

[@anthonybrown5550]

Did you add the Sedum over an EPDM roof? I've finished my roof but am worried about falling branches damaging the membrane so am thinking about an additional covering for impact protection. I'd thought about Sedum previously as a retro fit but Astro Turf could be a simpler Idea

[@TurinTuramber]

@@anthonybrown5550Yea sedum was over EDPM, there is also a root barrier and a drainage layer. Increases life of the EDPM and looks more natural.

Looks great

Now we're talking!

[@Mcpikie]

My thoughts as soon as I saw the turf going down. My garage is due for a re-roof this spring, and I reckon I am going for this now.

[@barringtonsmythe3464]

Cracking video. 1st class working commentary

[@jp6975]

This is your best video yet. The detail you go into in this one, with the examples and explanations, is exactly what I was after. How things look, why they're done that way, the closeups etc. I'm doing my own one and this video has gone into my watch later list. Much appreciated! I'm doing a warm roof but will now try an artificial grass roof top layer too. Will look good from the house at the end of the garden... but gotta try and keep neighbours happy...

[@klaeLIFE]

I'm considering the same. I have a warm roof design but I'm not sure I can get away with the extra height. I might only have 15mm to play with. I might have to shave down the grass around the edge so it doesn't push the trim up!

[@jp6975]

@@klaeLIFE if you're doing a watm roof then have you gone through planning? If not, how have you managed to fit a warm roof within the 2.5m limit while keeping decent head-height internally? I couldn't make it work so have gone for planning for a 2.8m height

[@klaeLIFE]

@@jp6975 I put in an insulated concrete base that sits 25mm above the ground. The ground is getting 35mm artificial grass So when measured it's actually 2.5m from my concrete base upwards. It means I save the airflow gap beneath and the timber base in thickness. This allows me to have 120mm rafters, egger protect 22mm sub deck, vapour barrier, 90mm roof insulation, 18mm tg osb roof board and rubber with trims. I get a 2.1m internal height and a full warm roof. I can have spot bulbs without ruining the vapour barrier or insulation and I can freely run wires through the roof and down the walls. Works out to be bigger fascia though

[@jp6975]

@@klaeLIFE I see. My slab is already there so I'm building the blockwork on top. I lose the 1st 150mm to encapsulate the DPM, DPC and 120mm PIR. Have to use 2x9s for the roof joists as I'll rip them to have 'inbuilt' firrings (rather than add them on) and maintain the min 120mm on the blockwork according to the span tables. Other than that I have the same except 100m PIR on the roof.

[@klaeLIFE]

@@jp6975 thenknly reason I went for 90mm was because the framework around the roof to hold in the PIR is 45mm thick x 70mm wide. Itbwas the only readily available size I could source in a continuous length. I plan to build a surround using two timbers to give me the 90mm. If I could have got 50mm I would have used that and went 100mm. I reckon a warm 90mm roof would better than a cold or hybrid 100mm roof.

[@dbraben]

Great videos.Wallbarn make some lovely green roof trays (M-Tray Modular Sedum Wildflower Green Roof), although rather expensive they are great for wildlife! Maybe one for a plush client in the future. Keep up the good work! :)

[@klaeLIFE]

The astro turf looks really good. Great job on the join and the trims. The only risky side is the gutter side but I guess you dont see it much. maybe the mechanically fixed gutter trim would be better in turf cases. Maybe you should make a mock up of both and see which comes out better. The grass does add a decent amount of weight to the roof and if its near trees that drop leaves it will have to be cleared as it leads to some growth in the debris and mould. Hopefully you wont have to clear animal droppings from it either! b Normally when it rains the grass drainholes feed straight into the ground. I'm not sure they would work too well here and the volume of water would just surface drain. The pitch of the roof may have to be steeper to encourage the flow of water. The grass can retain a lot of water if it doesn't go anywhere fast.

[@Papa_George1]

Using a nail that as had the head cut off in a drill to pilot a hole is the best way it saves time sorting through a load of drills and you get the right size every time

[@nickdemetriades335]

What a great idea for the roof. Looks the biz!! Some great one liners in presentation mate. Out of interest what did the Astro cost to buy?? There is so much crap on tv at the moment so these vids are a real tonic. So informative and attention to detail is fantastic as always. So good I watched it twice.

[@davemorris5571]

What adhesive did you use to stick grass down and do you just glue edges. Many thanks in advance

[@robevs100ok]

quality vid as usual

Also, I’m kinda thinking it won’t be long before you’re picked up by a TV production company ..... well, you never know, and the BAFTA for the most informative instructional home improvement programme goes to

It is great watching the team in action got onto your site whilst trying to build our own. One question can OSB used on the exterior as long as it has been painted / treated TIA

[@frankieunique5381]

I used composite fence panels for the soffits. Creates a much crisper look and because they slot into eachother no messy joints are needed in the corners

[@choihang8584]

Very informative. You inspired me to build my own shed, so I measured up and decided to go for 16x10 pent roof. But after calculating the cost of materials I was left 😱 buy the cost of timber

[@danielshawyer4466]

Looks amazing as always if I had to pull something it would be the poly pins offer the p trim up and line all the pins up but yet again that might just be ocd kicking in

[@jhngbs9]

Pins were lined up by placing at a 90 deg. to edge and lifting up, using the hammer to equally space the pins, genius.

[@alanbevan5095]

When did Ryan Reynolds get on the tools? 🤣 quality Vid real informative and Top job 👏👌

[@biggerpicturephoto]

Another great video, thank you. Really helping me build my own. Which trims and corners do you use? is that Firestone as well? I'm getting a Firestone edpm but the corners and trims they supply seem different, I prefer the ones you use. If you had some detail for me it'd be great. Love the series!

[@philipoconnor2236]

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I love your attention to detail. The spacing of polycap nails is something that l always notice. Love how you space them evenly! I presume you mitre the P trim or is there an angle piece?

[@plivius7495]

An extraordinary job. When we can see a video with an extension behind the house in your style.

[@simong9151]

I appreciate this is an old video but I was really curious to see how you did the corner of the P trim around the top edge of the roof. Was it a mitre cut or did the kit come with covers for the corner? And any indication of how the roof looks now? i.e has it survived the wind having only been bonded around the edges?

[@eaglegummybears7112]

Top man

[@kevinmcskimming8419]

Great job as usual buddy. What grade/thickness of rubber do you use? Thanks

Hi Liam, thank you for these great videos. Very interesting details. Where do you buy the gutter trims from?

[@iankendall2951]

I'm just in the process of putting one of these up and looking at putting artificial grass on top. What did you use to bond the grass to the rubber ?

[@kenlovejoy2918]

Great video. Do you use a one-stop-shop for all the fascias, soffits, rubber, etc? If so, where?
