Field shelters repaired across rural Devon. Roof leaks fixed, rotten timber replaced, structural issues sorted. Keep your livestock dry and comfortable.
### Don't Let Your Shelter Fall Apart
A **leaking or unstable field shelter** is worse than no shelter at all - livestock won't use it, and you've wasted money on something that's falling down. Better to catch problems early and fix them properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Check your field shelter every autumn. Fix small issues before winter weather makes them major problems. A new roof sheet now beats a full rebuild next year.

Good to Know
> 🐴 **Multiple issues?** If your shelter has several problems, prioritise roof and structure first. No point replacing boards if the roof's going to leak on them or posts are about to collapse. **Annual maintenance** - A quick check each autumn catches problems early. Tighten loose screws, replace dodgy boards, clear gutters. An hour's maintenance saves a day's repairs. **Consider relocation** - If your shelter is in a boggy spot where water pools, that's why the posts are rotting. Sometimes moving it 10 metres to better-drained ground makes more sense than constant repairs. **Planning for replacement** - If major structural elements are failing (multiple posts rotten, roof sagging badly), you might be better with a new build than throwing money at repairs. I'll be honest about whether repair makes economic sense.
Frequently Asked Questions about Field shelter repair in Teignmouth
What causes field shelters to deteriorate?
Devon's wet weather is brutal on timber structures. Roofs leak, corner posts rot at ground level, boards split and come loose. If it's been up 10+ years without maintenance, something's probably failing.
Can you repair just part of a field shelter?
Yes - no need to rebuild the whole thing if only one section is damaged. I can replace specific posts, patch roofing, or swap out rotten boards. More cost-effective than starting from scratch.
How long does a field shelter repair take?
Depends entirely on what's needed. A simple roof patch might be a few hours. Replacing corner posts or major structural work could be a full day or more. I'll assess and give you an accurate time estimate.
Will the shelter be usable during repairs?
Usually yes, though it depends on the work. If I'm replacing posts, you'll need to keep livestock out for safety. Roof repairs are quick - often done in a morning.
How much does field shelter repair cost?
Too variable to give a set price - every shelter is different. I'll visit, assess what needs doing, and give you a detailed quote. No hidden costs, just honest pricing for the work required.
