Please can somebody help me! .
I have got a local roofing contractor currently replacing the entire roof and due to the typical British weather the rain is delaying the work.
At the moment I have both the front and side elevations stripped of the original tiles and he has laid down the roofing underlay (Ventaflex) with the required battens. He has assured me that this underlay is totally waterproof for up to 3 months and will be ok as a roof covering until the rain stops.
However, I have now noticed some damp patches on the interior walls so I went into the loft area to take a look and most of the rafters are soaking wet with water running down and dripping onto the ceiling.
Does this mean the underlay has been laid in the wrong way? His argument has been that it will be fine when the tiles go on as this underlay is only to stop the wind, etc.
Am I justified in asking him to re-lay the entire underlay?
Heres just one pic:
