Hi Dave Thanks for the video - it's really helped! I have the same problem only under a slated roof. Could you explain what product that wonderbuilds material is? Also could I use felt? and should I use some form of bitumen adhesive? Cheers 👍

It’s roofing breathable felt I used in this video. On a slate roof it should be non-breathable roofing felt, and the roof should be fitted with slate vents or vented at the soffit/fascia and possibly dry ridge system. Those are different ways of venting the roof. As slates when fitted are pretty air non-permeable.

Why did you recommend to the customer to replace the roof entirely? Assuming just the one hole in the felt, sounds a little extreme? (Asking because my own house is tiled with Redland 50)

The chap has had a fair amount of leaking, too short a headlap in places on the tiles meaning water is getting to the felt, rotting/damping battens and getting in the holes. To give a 100% guarantee of no leaks would need replacing. He went for a fix to help for now by just repairing damaged felt.

Got quoted nearly 10 grand to replace the tiles and felt on my rental property (includes firrings and new deck over existing fibreglass dormer to cure the bad ponding). Thinking of doing the dormer myself and replacing the felt on that side. Just a question about the battens you used. I got some 'treated' tile battens from Wickes. They were blue on the outside but when cut just looked like natural timber. So are duch battens pressure treated or just the blue whatever it is on the surface?

I believe roofing battens (and the blue ones) are pressure treated and the blue is just a treatment to also help prevent rot and insect attack.

Hello, are the nails bent over towards end of vid just to hold overlap of membrane?

@@MrAbbler different companies may charge differently depending on skill, experience and size of the business/company overheads, etc. I don’t give out my prices on here anymore so I suggest you get 3 quotes and decide based on each price/company. Cheapest isn’t always best in this game, remember that. Thanks.

Like asking how long is a piece of string in all honesty mate. Depends on extent of damage to felt and the skill and experience of the person doing it really. So not a straight forward question to answer.

Hey mate. I mention that in the video, they are Redland Stonewolds. No longer made but can be gotten hold of via reclaim.

Old bitumen felt gets pretty frail over time and it’s own weight can cause splits or more likely someone throwing the Xmas decoration box’s too forcefully, that kind of thing can damage it.
