Could anyone point me at a diagram on how the felt goes on a small (about 3.5ft wide) flat-roofed dormer? Mine is leaking and I'm sure I can replace it - just worried about how the felt joins the rest of the roof and whether I need to take a load of tiles off.

Hi, I'm not (or cant be arsed to do a diagram to show you how to do it cuz i'll be here all day) gonna do a diagram but you'll have to slide up/remove the 1st course of tiles to make it fully waterproof IMO.

I dont know what felt your using so cant comment on how you need to know on how to join it.

Just get a decent roofer in TBH. Shouldn't be alot by the measurements you've said.
 
OK, thanks for that. I can't afford to pay a tradesman much as I'd like to! The roof is 60's type pantiles with a lipped top edge. Will these slide back do you think? Will just underlapping the felt work, or do I need to get it under the battens too? Think I'll be using a 'hot' type felt.

tiles will slip back - and come out easily ;) work it out in minature with a box or whatever and some sheets of A4 :idea: seriously. Then you can see the best way to cut/ shape etc. without touching the felt .In the privacy of your own home :p
