I have a flat valley about 50cm wide dividing two semis on the roof.
I had a crack in the valley where another valley runs into it. The valley is felted, but is older.
So i coated this valley in fibrepol (a sticky water proof paint solution with fibres) and it looked like it helped improve the thickness of the felt covering.
After this (a few days later) i stuck a patch of lead over the cracked area to sort of do a puncture repair on the roof.
However, the stixall i used didn't adhere and the lead just peeled up when i tugged it.
So i cleaned off the lead and applied the CT1 adhesive and this stuck a lot better.
Today has been the first day of rain for quite a few weeks and the leak is still there, but is much improved.
So i need to reattached this lead patch again as it must be letting water in underneath it.
What other product could i use to get the lead to stick down ? Would leadmate be a better bet ?
Replacing the whole run of felt is most likely the best option, but I dont think the block of flats has enough money to take it up and reslate around the lower sections draining into this valley.
I have a video showing the water running down into the area, but i cant load it on here.
