Roofing felt repair

mjmoore · 27 Apr 2009

Hi, having found a small pool of water on the kitchen window sill, it seems the lower edge of the roofing felt has given up!

It's clay tile on top, and only a single story, so easy to work on....

Just wondered what the best 'repair' method is (the rest seems OK, just the edge that's gone).

About 2M long.

you can fit eaves trays View media item 10963 if the felt at the eaves has perished.
though its the tiles that prevent the water from coming through the roof not the felt! check you dont have any slipped/broken tiles.

Tiles are ok, without going into too much detail, a small amount ow water ingres is OK.

Those trays look nifty, although probably not wide enough. I think I'll just remove the bottom run of felt and replace - probably easier than trying to repair!

Might still use those trays though!

the tray are designed to sit under the felt, to prevent it from sagging, and water pooling. You really shouldnt have an issue if the tiles are OK, so i would give the main roof some attention as a priority
