Thanks to this website, and the kind souls who give time and advice based on professional (or expert amateur) experience, I have learnt a great deal.
However, I have not been able to find an answer to my latest query, so I will have to trouble someone on here.
I am renewing the fascia boards and soffits. Anticipating renewal of the eaves felt, I bought some (the proper 5U stuff). However, having lifted the eaves course, and first and second course of tiles, I have been wondering what to do, because there wasn't any eaves felt to replace.
The house was built in 1939, so there was no sarking felt, or other such membrane - only tall (almost overlapping) battens.
Because the new fascia boards are uPVC, there is no fear of them rotting due to leaks through damaged eaves felt, and the lowest course of tiles protrudes well into the middle of the guttering.
I have tried to think through the pros and cons of putting the eaves felt on, but can only conclude that it would be an almost pointless exercise to do so, and I should just take the unused felt back for a refund.
Apologies for such a long post, but I have seen threads where the experts have to try and get sufficient info to be able to advise appropriately, so I have tried to put enough so that it boils down to:
...Should I put in eaves felt when there is no other internal membrane from the eaves to the ridge of the roof?

sounds like you`ve got feathered edge boards as battens so virtual sarking boards
