Roofing in rain

Actually the underlay is more than long enough. It's simply sagged behind the fascia . As catlad rightly said , ideally it should have been supported.
So , there's nothing actually wrong with the underlay. It's not felt.
Just looking at the materials used (apart from fascia) i can see they probably know what they are up to.
I'll stand by there is nothing wrong and nothing to worry about . So far.
If they want to tile it in the rain good for them , we do it often.
If you know as much as you make out tel you would know the fascia issue.
Stick to your tacking.

DiyNutJob,
Why building trade insurance? Because your car insurance or your house contents wont cover you.
building trade insurance is a general term for insuring building trade work - eg. no matter what status you might claim in court if you are not insured for building trade work, and/or particular aspects of the work such as working at height or using heat then you are very vulnerable & you will probably take the hit.
Many insurers will wriggle for most all claims - whats new? But the point is to have the specific insurance before starting, you cant risk going bankrupt or losing your house just because you have to deal with wrigglers.

Alastairreid,
You say get back under - well I certainly seem to have got under your skin.
I can think of nothing more dubious than your giving dangerous advice to the DIY'ers on here - of course, trolls and drain cleaners have no shame. You really should apologise to the viewers.

datarebal,
Stay with felt the term the OP uses - actually the term is irrelevant - that the the felt is short can be clearly seen, lack of support or longer in parts is also irrelevant to the fact that the felt is short and can be seen to be short.
Stop dodging about simply admit you are wrong.
What, your still babbling on about the fascia - the fascia was fine and still is fine.
Your lack of basic roofing knowledge is astounding.
How come you are posting on here during working hours every working day if you are a working roofer?

So, if I climb a ladder, I need building trade insurance? I still don't understand falling off ladder and then lose house. How does that happen?

OMG, OMG the fool has just shot himself in both feet - judging by your posts I think that you would need insurance if you tied your shoe laces. So, Yes Yes in your case cover everything. Why not take cover under the ladder & eliminate the risk of climbing?
I am asking you since you appear to know. I been going up and down alum scaffold for 5 solid months without insurance. Just wondering if I dodged a machine gun? I am not quite done yet, got one last job to do this year. Currently held up by ebay seller sending me crappy parts.

Stick to tacking
4 roof windows? Nice. I hope they are triple glazed to save on gas? Although that makes them very heavy.
I fitted vents under the eaves trays on mine - any extra ventilation in a vaulted roof (?) will help... Would have been nice to have the trays in so the water didn't soak the wall insulation though. With lightweight blocks on the inside it wont take long to dry out...
Been trying to re-felt my roof. Its hard work. Never ached so much in my legs!

lnterestingly he goes with the moon - it's just passed full and here he is in full flow. I've followed his rants for years and it's a definite pattern.
