The felt under the roof tiles of my house has torn and is hanging down, as a consequence I have water leaking in the loft. Is there any way to patch up the holes without removing the tiles from the roof...? :?

A small section of my garage roof is above my living roof which means that any leaks can affect my living room ceiling. A few years ago, i was regularly getting streaks of water on my ceiling during heavier downpours. Someone on this forum suggested using Acropyl on the felt joints and this...

I have a valley/butterfly roof with a felt lined central gutter (pictured below). The gutter relies on a bitumen mastic seal between the felt and the lowest tiles. Pretty predictably, this keeps failing. In heavy rain, water rises above the level of the first tile and water ingresses into the...

Old felt roof has corrugated metal overlay so sealed all round. Condensation forming on underside drips on old felt which leaks a bit. I need to gain access through holes either end and spray loads of pour-on (very liquid) sealer so it floods the surface and hopefully finds the cracks. So I need...

hello, I've noticed that a substantial piece of felt has ripped in the loft, the bedroom below has a built in cupboard with mildew in it and the windows are always wet with condensation not to mention the coldest room in the house. Moved in recently and not sure what can be...

Hi, I've just roofed my attached garage with onduline (bitmumen corrugated sheets) but one of the nails bent half way and created a hole about 10 mm across. Do I repair this the same way I would felt, with some mastic and maybe repair tape? Cheers! Carl

Hi all..... I have a porch with nothing under it (if that makes sense) the roof is felted and the underside clad in UPVC. I got on the roof at the weekend as I wanted to check the seals around the window above. On getting on the roof I noticed that the left.most section in the picture below was...

My son accidentally dropped a glass into our sink bowl and now there is a hole and a crack running 3-4” away from the hole (the crack is barely visible in the photo but can be felt by running a finger along the length of the crack). What is the best way of fixing this such that a fix would last...

Hi, just found out I have a hole likely made by punching something by previous builder. The holes is per attachment photos. How can make a good repair without replacing all thing? Thanks

I was trying to lay some felt on this old shed by myself but it runs a bit out if line. The over hang is a bit lower at one end. Shall I just nail the underside to hide that? In trying to adjust its position I've left a few holes in the over hang as well as I pull it away from the nails...

I have a couple sunken areas on my flat garage roof and it appears the straw like decking has split underneath. I plan to replace these with some OSB3 panels and then put felt underlay and overlay on top. What is the best way to remove the existing felt and damaged decking? Do I work...

I'm responsible for selling a deceased estate property and having looked in the loft, there are holes in the roofing felt. Also, where the felt has been overlapped along the length of the roll edges, theres a gap of max 2" where it seems to have shrunk back. The property is a 1930's semi and has...

Hello, I have installed MDF skirtings and architraves to a room and have fixed these using countersunk screws in places where the walls arent straight and adhesive isnt covering it. I have used ronseal 2 part wood filler to fill the holes and sanded back. When i came back to the holes a...

I am thinking of adding a loft conversion to my 1950s bungalow. On inspecting the roof, the tiles appear to be in good condition but the old original underfelt has repairs all over it. There are no leaks which I can see. I understand that holes in the felt are not all bad as they can supply...

No, rain should not be getting through the tiles. You have a damaged tile/ridge tile/lead somewhere(above and in line with the hole in the felt) on the roof. Repairing the hole in the felt is not the answer.

I've just finised laying the floor in my loft and I now want to tackle the problem of drafts and dust. The felt in my roof is quite brittle and there are a couple of holes/tears that I would like to repair before I cover it with some insulating foil backed 'bubble wrap'. I've been...

Help. I decided to repair some broken tiles in my bathroom and felt the need to also remove some towel bars not being used. The tile was set in concrete and left a large hole (4"x4" tiles - so just the corner) and uneven surface. How do I fill the hole where the towel bars were so they are...
