Hi
I need to continue my existing roofline across onto my new extension trusses. It's concrete interlocking tiles. I know I need to lap the new felt over the existing by a couple of rafters worth, but I can't work out how I'd do that without ripping the existing battens off and damaging the existing felt, and basically end up ripping the whole existing roof off.
Can you gently pursuade the old battens off and slip the new felt under them? Can't see how unless you get the nails out completely? Any pointers much appreciated, I'm keen to leave the existing roof alone as much as poss as I've not got the whole thing scaffolded
