I've been thinking a bit about your ideas. Bringing the felt up over the back gutter is clearly a good solution but means cutting the felt both at the back gutter edge and vertically.
I'm wondering whether I couldn't get away with using Flashband or similar to bond a flap of felt to the existing felt, so avoiding cutting. Obviously I would need to cut away the bits of counterbatten that are in the way but that applies to any solution and is not too difficult. I'm then thinking of bringing the felt flap up and over the short tiles which gets round the problem of nail holes and that bit of batten which is currently stopping water flow.
I appreciate this may not last for ever but might be good enough until the roof is retiled (which I suspect is not too many years away). In any case, if it fixed my leak I would be prepared to invest in getting the section of roof refelted and battened to provide a permanent solution.
Comments anyone? (Not too rude, please!)
