Hi all. I have a couple of holes about the size of a beer-mat in the under-tile felt in my loft. They seem to have been caused by the felt rotting which is a bit strange because the rest of the felt feels sound. Anyway what I want to find out is can I put a patch over the holes from inside...

Hi, I've found a hole in my roof felt in the loft. It appears to have been caused by birds. The hole is bigger than a grapefruit but smaller than a football and the edges are pushing inwards - as if an object had punctured from the outside into the loft. There's no evidence of leakage. The felt...

Hi, I noticed some water in a small puddle in my loft, above is a small hole in the felt. I can feel the wind coming through the hole but when shining a torch though I can see a roofing tile the other side. It doesn't look like its damaged or anything but it is letting water though. Is...

I finally had a look around the loft in my new (old) property and saw a few decent-sized holes in the roofing felt that exposed the roof tiles. The holes are around 6" in diameter. Could these holes cause a leak into the loft floor? Or are roof tiles interlocked to prevent water seeping...

II have a hole in my roof felt over a timber. It is a 1967 house so I imagine the felt is wearing out, although it is fine over the rest of the roof. How can I go about patching this up. I tried Duck tape but this fell off. Any Ideas would be welcome. Thanks

OK, so I don't actually need to repair \ replace the roofing felt as its watertight, but my roof tiles aren't flat they are curved and I have birds (the feathered variety) coming in my loft via the hole in the roofing felt, so what is the best way to repair this, I am afraid of heights so I am...

We have found a hole in our roofing felt under concrete tiles. Our house is a dormer bungalow and the hole is on the top half of the roof with very little pitch. We are wanting to patch the hole. Can anyone give us advice on how to do this? We were thinking of getting a piece of...

Hi, I'm hoping for a cheap solution to the hole I have in my roof and felt please. It's a semi-detached house built in c.1965 with I believe the original roof and tiles etc. Other than this one hole there doesn't seem to be any other issues so I'm reluctant to re-roof until it's necessary...

Our house has a slate roof with underslaters felt. However, the nails that have been used to fix slates are too long for the gauge of the battens and in numerous instances have punctured the felt. I inherited this roof when we moved in, so I cannot ask the roofer to rectify. I can snip...

Hi all, some advice please. I'm getting a re-roof done on a small chapel hall. They have finished the felt and battening however I've noticed lots of holes (some the size of a ten pence piece) and tears in the felt outside of the overlapping sections (see photos below of one area). They are...

I have drilled a 100mm hole through the side of my flat roof for some venting. The hole has breached the felting. What can I use to create a water tight seal between the plastic vent and felt ? I was going to using general purpose silicone but someone mentioned they used it and the bitumen...

Hi all I have a broken roof tile right at the apex of my roof. I'm going to get a quote for replacing it. But I noticed in the loft today that you can see daylight through a few small holes and a small tear in the felt beneath the broken tile. Is there a usual way that a small piece of...

No idea whether the builders did it or me... either way there is a small hole in the felt. I know it’s a secondary barrier and with it being a new build it’s not like the tiles should fail, but I want to fix it. Can you get adhesive patches or something for this kind of problem?

I have the tar like felt under the tiles and in places it has holes - mainly roofers toes have pocked through when they re set the ridge tiles so its small toe/foot sized flaps. I have tried patching with flashband which works well for a while but this time of year some has peeled off. So any...

Hello We build a self assembly log cabin four years ago. It came with a felt roof and we followed the instructions on nailing the felt down. Yesterday we noticed a couple of small leaks inside the log cabin. Looking at the roof today, the felt is broken around several of the nails, see photos...

Hi there, I woke up this morning to a massive leak coming through my bathroom window and it looked like it originated from the top of the window frame. As the rain poured down, so did the leak. So I called out window repaires/builders who examined the window and told me the window was sound...

Hi All, I'm having condensation issues in the loft. So I've been up there to investigate. When I had the roof done they installed some tile vents. The ones that protrude out from the actual roof tiles. I noticed they have cut a rectangular hole through the felt in the 3 locations that...

Hi, I have discovered in my loft that part of the plywood in my roof has came into my loft and there is a hole in the felt also meaning i can touch my roof slates from inside my loft which looks like i now have a touch of dampness in the loft, how could i fix this without getting a guy in to...

Hi, I've recently moved into a house and have discovered this hole in the roof felt. My initial reaction was of course looks terrible and I need to patch right away. I've discovered that it is however right underneath the one vented ridge tile, so I'm wondering if at some point it was opened up...

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...
