Right here goes but like i say bit of a botch job and not some thing i would undertake but it would remove the puddle from your roof.You could get a hopper head.Cut a hole into your roof(through boards/felt) at the lowest point in the dip.Fix your hopper head to a joist.Fit a lenght of down...

OK, I'll take the plunge, the flue system is gonna cost about £150 :shock: What I need is a 1 metre flue, a roof doodah, a storm collar, and a vent. OK so I reckon I'll replace the felt at the same time as this is pretty cheap. So, drill hole in said roof, poke flue through said hole, then...

The electrician said that you need to leave space around and above due to heat and then there is the air gap between the felt and insulation. Thus if and when we put it back in, he said we would need 6inch holes through to the felt. I agree that insulation is important, just not sure of the...

Generally the additional rafter is being put in in order to take the weight of a dormer or suchlike and this means that a hole is being cut in the felt anyway so that the whole thing goes in from the outside. It is possible to do it (and I have) by only cutting the felt so far up and feeding...

Thanks for replies.... House built in mid 80s, and the builder did say what the overlap was but I was too worried to take it in. I have never had a problem before with leaks,Deluks, but I am assuming that the felt must have only just worn, I looked in the loft after they had gone and there are...

I don't have one. The company that was given the repair contract had one. They patched up holes which took days but it's worked. So felt can be repaired.

colour rather drained out my cheeks when i saw that :( :( have they also damaged the felt in the split timber picture?? it looks like several stitched holes in that picture

Would love to remove permanantly, but apparently this would contravene planning. Think i may have to remove and felt over the hole. then replace chimney over top? Any thoughts?

take off the plate and just fill hole with expanding foam to retain insulation value and not cause a "cold spot"..then after its set get a piece of code 5 lead to cover hole and repair with normal felt work to an area 4-5 time the size of affected area

I need to fix my asbestos garage roof, it has one fairly large hole and a few hairline cracks? should I use felt for the hole? There seem to be a range of tapes, are any better than others? which will stick to asbestos best? All suggestions gratefully received.

16mm is a bit too tight unless you can guarantee perfect alignment of every hole, as scratching the pipe during installation can lead to leaks. If the pipe binds in the holes it can cause all sorts of creaking noises with thermal expansion. I would go for about 20mm, maybe even 25mm and...

Good evening, I would like some advice or suggestions on how to seal these holes along the party wall. This picture is taken from inside my loft. Behind this wall is a chimney that has been built into the party wall. It has been dropped but has not been slate/tiled (long story). It's open...

Heh. The felt is a secondary line of defence- slates etc. are described as 'weatherproof' rather than waterproof so yes you will sometimes get water coming through them and hitting the felt. Problem is the leak could be anywhere between the hole in the felt and the highest point of the roof...

I suppose I could use a small blowlamp (similar to camping stove) like this one: https://www.toolstation.com/auto-blowlamp/p43245 It's only about 2m of parapet I am looking at. Worst case I ruin some felt or it doesn't stick - could be worse.

Don't be concerned about the hole in the felt, if water has been leaking in, you need to find where it's getting in through the primary roof covering. The water could be from condensation under the slates/tiles running down the felt. Might be worth having a look next time you have heavy rain and...

I live in a 3 bed/2 story semi. I have a small leak coming through the upstairs ceiling, close to the chimney breast. I called a couple of people to come out and have a look and got 2 seperate opinions. 1st person said it was too windy to go up on the roof, but went into the attic and showed me...

Thanks. They seem to be older ones but now we have fancy CT1 I might give that a try.

The underfelt looks like type 1F underslating felt, and the holes seem to be where the laps have "shrunk". You could probably fix this from inside by sliding cuttings of new felt up, making sure it's lapped such that any water would fall on top of the lower strip, ie under the top strip but...

I'm being dumb here but would you care to elaborate as to slipping the patch inside or out etc? ..also what sort of felt, just general as it's only a patch job? or like for like. thanks again
