Hi,
I have a large building at the bottom of my garden which has been there from before I moved in and we've converted it into a gym/summer room.
The roof is pitched although the angle is very shallow - definitely no more than 20 degrees and has two skylights.
A damp patch inside developed around one of the skylights and so I patched where I thought the leak was on the roof but the damp just go worse.
My neigbour (who knows a bit more than I do) tells me that the covering on the roof is not the correct type - in fact it's some sort of underlay over which the roof covering should be applied.
I've decided to put a proper roof covering up. My question is will roofing felt be okay for this and also how do I seal around the skylights properly so that there are no leaks?
Thanks for any advice.
Tin.
