Replacing Roofing Felt From Inside Loft

Replacing just the felt that has physically broken can fix any leaking without the expense of work on the whole roof which usually requires scaffolding.

Replacing roofing felt from inside loft.

A section of the felt is missing from the inside of my pitched tiled roof. It s about a 2 mtr length and two rafter spaces wide. The rips are small enough that this should be sufficient if you run into a larger rip you may need to choose a different method or support the flashing as it may fall off due to its weight if it s larger than a few square inches. The felt near the eaves near the guttering can age faster than felt further up the roof.

Is it feasable to restore the missing felt from the inside without removing roof tiles. You can purchase self adhesive flashing which in small pieces should adhere well to the felt and should be suitable for the heat and cold experienced as roofing underlayment. The tiles are the fairly common large concrete type and the roof has 4 x2 rafters and standard 1 battens. However it can be difficult and unsafe to do it on a ladder but you might find someone who can do it.
