Roofing in rain

[tell80]

datarebal said "there is no problem". Well there are two glaring problems: one with the roof pic (that you dont seem to understand) & two with what you've written.

How will the felt "hang into the gutter" if its on top of the tray with the tile above and forward?
Felt must be left long over the fascia until your ready to cut it beyond the fascia - even on top of the tray, the felt must discharge any moisture beyond the fascia - thats elementary roofing knowledge.

What your difficulty with the fascia is I dont understand - the in-place fascia is fine.

Alastairreid,
You have posted potentially dangerous advice to a DIY'er - its obvious that you have never worked on a roof & even more obvious that you have never had "Working at Height" insurance.
I believe you've posted that you are a Drain Cleaner - dont drain cleaners typically stick to sewers?

OP & any other interested DIY'ers: if you have an accident while working on a roof in the rain you will probably be denied compensation, & afterwards refused any future Building Trade insurance.

As there are no counterbattens fitted, make sure they use nails that aren't so long they penetrate all the way through the batten and the felt, otherwise there will have been no point fitting the felt only to bang it full of holes. Also, take care with what is done on the underside of the felt; if you're insulating between the rafters, avoid pressing the felt against the underside of the battens.

Personally, I'd have fit the support trays before I fit the felt; there's always a risk that one of the "my job is just to bang the tiles on, not to think guvnor" guys will come along and tile over that felt as is, leaving a potential for water to pool there forever more; it's a job that can be done while waiting for tiles (as can plenty of other jobs on the underside)

Won't the depth of the tray be more than enough to lap the bottom of the felt, and achieve the desired outcome.

Why would DIYers need building trade insurance? The insurance monkeys will try to squirm their way out from paying in any case.

Do you mean like this, blup?

 

[datarebal]

Permo forte , it won't need tarps unless they hole it .

 

[blup]

Yes like that

He's not a diy'er! The extension is being built by contractors.

Get back under your rock and stop trolling forums you have no epertise on.

Lol. I am conflicted about tell/bobasd, he clearly has a wealth of experience in construction but gets very defensive if challenged.

Foil back or fire rated?

I trust his advice, Datarebal is a clearly a very experienced professional although a man of few words

 

[Alastairreid]

Tell, Bob,ree etc resorts to name calling when he gets called out on some of his dubious so called advice.
He knows nothing about roofing can't even get the terminology right...keyboard warrior and troll personified.
