patching up a flat felt shed roof

kierank1970 · 8 Mar 2009

My shed roof has felt roofing - its a flat one

I cant see any obvious tears, but water is getting through when it rains

What would you suggest I do to repair it? Do I remove what on there and start again, or perhaps put another layer of felt over the existing layer...or do I even need more felt? Should i find the gap and mastic it?

Any opinions would be really helpful

refelt it...............£10 for decent felt from your local bm.

Do you mean felting over the top of what I have got already, or do I take everything off and then start again?

personally i would take the old felt off, but it wouldnt do any harm going over the top either.
