Damaged Roofing Felt Under Tiles in Stockport

Roofing felt is a backup beneath the slates or tiles. If rainwater is regularly running across it, the outer covering above is still letting water through.

Roofing detail relevant to damaged roofing felt under tiles in stockport

Older felt often fails around nails and eaves

Bituminous underlay becomes brittle with age and can tear where it has been stretched or punctured.

An inside patch has limits

A patch stuck beneath the felt may stop a drip temporarily, but it does not recreate the weather-lapped joints fitted from above.

Lift the covering when a proper repair is needed

If slates or tiles are already being removed, damaged underlay can be repaired in the correct overlap at the same time.
