Hi all, hopefully one of you guys can give me some advice on my garage roof. I'm new here so I hope this post works...
Last year, I had my asbestos roof replaced with some metal corrugated roofing, with felt anti condensation/drip stop underneath. It works well and I'm happy.
However the felt layer extends to the edge of the overhang, and picks up some of the rain that drips over the edge. On some corrugations it wicks up into the garage itself. I've got some pictures:
Wicking from outside to inside
So, I've thought about removing some of the felt layer as in the image below - I'm not sure I removed enough, or far enough up the corrugations, but is this the way forward?
Or do I need a proper drip edge? I have thought about a bead of silicone along the edge - but I think I'd still need to remove the felt?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot!
James
