Just got back after 2 weeks holiday, and found loads of mould growth in the ceiling in the bathroom. Climbed to the top of the dormer roof, and the edge of the felt where it turns over the roof edge is full of holes and the roof itself all up and down, and after standing on it i Suspect the plywood is rotted through.
I've therefore decided next week to re-felt it all and put a new plywood roof on as I intend it to last another 15 years plus. Having never done this before So my questions are what materials do i need, eg what type of roofing felt, plywood, underlay etc do i need for a good job.
Secondly the felt at the back of the dormer, appears to run under the main roof tiles, which i Can no doubt rip off but how is it tucked back under when laying new. there is also no visible drip line or guttering so is it advisable to create one at the front edge of the dormer roof.
The size of the roof is 1.3m x 2.9m so not too big I suspect to give it a go, all advice welcome on the above
