Hi,
I have a hole in my shed roof. It's about 15cm long right on the ridge where the birds land.
I need some advice on the best way to fix this. Do I patch just this area or should I cap the entire length of the ridge with new felt? The length of the ridge is 12ft.
Also, do I need to use adhesive as well as clout nails for the new felt or would just adhesive be sufficient?
You may notice that there is a hollow space under the existing felt on the ridge - should I add a strip of plywood under the new felt to prevent sagging?
Any help appreciated, I've never done a job like this before.
Thanks in advance
