Hi people, I just went up into the space in my eaves to store some stuff and noticed that there is a small hole about the size of a saucer in my felt, I can kind of see daylight through it and it looks like it has been leaking a little bit, Is this something that can be patched up, all the rest...

I have to fill in a hole in a felted flat roof where a gas boiler flue was removed. How should I go about this?

My garage has a pitched roof covered with felt. The felt lengths are laid over the pitch of the roof, rather than running along the length of the roof. It leaks, but only on one aspect of the roof. The north facing side is absolutely fine, whereas the sunny side leaks. The leaks are where the...

My house is 1930's without any gutter or soffit boards. Therefore the roof joists and roofing felt are exposed at the edge of the roof. Some of the roofing felt there has got holes or deteriorated completely. I want to replace or cover up the damaged felt to stop birds nesting there and also...

So, long story short is we are going to upgrade our velux windows in a partial loft conversion rebuild and upgrade. At the moment we are unsure if we will replace with the same size. We might opt to replace with something that’s thinner but longer. Meaning that the existing hole that’s been cut...

Finally getting around to fixing my garage roof while it's dry (?). The roof is fairly recent 3 layer felt apart from a gash about 2 feet long where a concrete parapet slab was dropped and went partly through. The roof itself slopes slightly (about 6 inches over 10 feet) and the top felt is...

Hi everyone! My shed is about 8 years old and last winter, small amounts of water started getting through the felt. I think its leaking through the holes where the felt tacks went, some of which have come out. I was wondering about painting the roof with a bitumen paint, eg Bostik...

Hi guys, Amate of mine has damp on a wall in his house. On closer inspection, I found the felt on his flat roof has been damaged. Not sure how to explain this but he has 'hips' on 2 sides of his extension which stop rainfal just flowing off the sides of his roof, they also direct the rainfall...

Hi, I have a existing flat roof with a now redundant 4'' flue hole/18'' square flashing plate. I've temporarily sealed the hole/plate but I now need a more permanent solution. The existing felt system appears to be in a reasonable condition (it's around 8 years old) and has been painted...

Hi all, I was up in the loft at the weekend and noticed a number of rips in the roof felt. Some of which go under beams. Is it possible to repair these? As it is tight between tile and beam so I can't slide anything under. Felt looks in generally bad state with a quite a few rips / holes...

Every time I put felt on a roof I have to ask if it is worth it. The stuff is bl**dy expensive and then we put thousands of holes in it. :shock: If the job is done properly in the first place then there should be no need for it. Is there a scientific explanation I dont know about or is this one...

Right, I see there are loads of topics on felt roofs, but none answer my question! I built a felt roof on my shed (rather a large shed though!) and I built 2 skylights as well. One of these is leaking like a sieve, so i want to remove it and patch the hole. I don't want to redo the whole roof...

Hi all, I would like to install a terminal vent (Ubbink OFT-1F) for my cooker hood onto the roof of my extension, which is built up felt. The vent has a integral plastic flange. I'm fine with cutting a hole through the roof as required but i was wondering if someone could tell me what i...

Have had a look outside of the extension (20+ yrs old) & can see dodgy looking gulley thats siliconed but lower down (so not the problem) located the leak from inside (crawlspace is like the great escape tunnel) ..to improve matters I'm insulating the loftfloor & covering with loft board to...

I have a buyer for my late Mum's house and her survey came back with "the protective underfelt in the loft space is damaged/ripped and needs to be repaired before completion". I have been up there today to investigate and seen that there are places where the felt edges have sagged, exposing the...

I have a very minor leak / seepage in a flat roof extension. It is board and felted and then chippings above. The edge of the roof has lead flashing tucked into the brickwork where it meets the adjoining property. I've removed all of the chippings, given it a good wash over and left to dry. It...

Hi, went up in a loft for a family friend and found that their Roof tile vents had a large gap around them where the felt had been cut, I guess when fitted. This looks like potential water ingress and suggest they need to be sorted. Any suggestions on the best way to sort these out?

There is a rip in the bitumen felt covering on my roof. Ive tried Bostik Flashband tape - would not stick at all. Ive tried Gorilla waterproof repair tape - very sticky to itself but still wouldn't stick to the felt and has just peeled off. I cant apply any pressure to it because there's no...

Hi all, What are thoughts on using flash band to stick down roof felt overlaps to avoid both nailing through the felt and the messy bitumen glue? Picture below shows what I mean which was an attempt to to fix a leak coming through nail holes. It hasn't worked so going to completely replace...
