Whenever I use glue on a repair I always put a lead tingle in to hold it in place.

You could get some felt and cut it to the width in between the rafters. Slide it down so it covers the gap by at least 4 inches and then you could use some sealant on the right hand side to stop any small drips.

Prices have went up a fair bit because a lot of suppliers are running out of materials due to COVID.

Roofer here and it's terrible. Bonding gutter isn't straight and the cuts up it are all over the place. The uplift at the windows is definitely a bit much, they should be able to sit down a good bit more than that.

Get a proper roofer to look at it. Ignore this person.

I prefer to do it properly with lead. Not with a product that is not made or guaranteed for flat areas.

That's a good way to end up with a leak.....

You can get rafter arms that you can attach the plastic gutter clips to. It would save installing a fascia. https://www.burtonroofing.co.uk/floplast-rafter-bracket-top-fix.html

Keyline if it is in your area sells Marley, Osma is available at one merchant I've been to in central Scotland. Flopast is good quality, I use it on most of my jobs

You need to repoint the end hip

It can still be used though

Can you post a picture of your actual house? That way we can see the exact type of tile and recommend how to do it

OSB if the most common for this type of work. Marine ply is used on some high-rise flats/office buildings

They are handy kits and will weld lower codes of lead to a average standard. A better kit would be one with actual acetylene welding kit. They don't have to be huge because acetylene in it's liquid form can expand by about 600x if I remember correctly

The oxyturbo kits don't use acetylene (they have a ****ty gas). I would invest in a better kit that has the proper gas as the finish on your work will look much better

Not a problem. Being a roofer myself it was never in doubt :)

It's not fitted properly.... and it would look the same on tiles with the way it was done. The unions should not be pushed down like that. https://gyazo.com/b15b97227ed6a6e06748ee7a39751d3f There should be a clip in the middle like this (should have a screw hole though) that holds up the...

Easy trim is cheap crap to be honest with you. The unions are not sturdy in the slightest. Whoever done this didn't do the job right. They unions need to have a small plastic clip inserted at the top and by the looks of it they never bothered using it. It will leak eventually.

I would think it was already there, it is an old felt that isn't produced anymore (I think)

The black plastic is a type of felt too. None of that should be showing. I would have a company come and do a report for you because if it's left like that there will be more leaks further down the line.
