lawn repair soil

Hello, I have a approx 110 square meter shady lawn that I need to repair.  It was turfed two years ago, I think fairly badly, and doesn't seem to have been watered through the summer.

It is patchy with 70% green, 30% dead.

The client is only renting, so doesn't want to pay to have the turf lifted and relaid.  My plan is to reseed the patches next week and care for it properly.

Can anyone recommend a good soil to use?  I'm looking for a brand or supplier that I can trust.

Thanks for any advice.

    I tend to buy whatever top soil the local nursery has on offer usually in 25 litre bags , screened where possible and check it's not damp .

    Store it in a dry place before use .

    Have had the bulk bags where it's more viable to purchase in bulk but needs to be used upon delivery otherwise it can turn to mud if stored outdoors .

    Also Never used peat free top soil personally for lawns .
