felt

Hi all, We’ve recently moved into an 8 year old house and, as expected with the damp weather and snow, have noticed an issue where our property joins with the semi-detached neighbour. There seems to be insulation above the felt and below the tiles, and this area has become damp. I’m not sure...

Following extreme weather the day before, I discovered a small, dribbling leak coming through some ripped inner felt in my 1960's roof. This felt has been ripped for several years with no leaks. The rip is quite large, the width if two beams and about 3 inches in height. Had 2 roofers quote...

Would anyone (with years of roofing experience :)) be able to comment on the chances of this old shed felt, which is falling apart, containing asbestos? The shed is quite old (pre 2000). Thanks, Sarah.

Hi, Rushed felting my shed yesterday as I had a few days dry. Was basically dark and cold when doing it which was probably a bit silly. Can I save it, without needing to bin that layer? The middle panel is down with adhesive, that’s where it went major wrong for me. I watched someone roll...

Hi, Since moving into my house last year I’ve had a constant problem in the colder months with my felt being wet through on the underside and droplets of water dripping onto my insulation. I have had a gable vent fitted, lap vents installed, ridge vent fitted and the house already has vents in...

Hi, I am struggling to understand my roofing contractor's quote and reasoning behind some of the work. The roof on our rear extension (extended by previous owner) is missing the edges in the bottom corners and it slipped over the years. We need to replace the old skylights, so we want to...

Hi, I've recently moved into a house and have discovered this hole in the roof felt. My initial reaction was of course looks terrible and I need to patch right away. I've discovered that it is however right underneath the one vented ridge tile, so I'm wondering if at some point it was opened up...

Hi all I hope you're all keeping well This is my first post and I'm hoping to get some advice on a case of extreme condensation in my loft. I've read the various threads I could find, but wanted to get your take on the solutions I've been offered by several roofers before taking the plunge. I...

Hi, I'm looking at buying a small house the roof of which has been re-tiled some years ago with concrete tiles but there is no felt under the tiles. It's a storey-and-a-half house so the upstairs floor is in the roof space/rafters, and I want to insulate this roof space to use as bedroom space...

Hi everyone, just looking for a bit of independent advice until I get a professional in to take a look. We moved into a 20 year old house about 2 years ago, house had been empty for a few months and there had obviously been some escape of water/roof leak at some point and the plasterboard...

Hi everyone! New here, looking forward to being massively impressed with your immediate support! (I have zero time to decide on the below!)... We have to have our entire house rendered, much to our servere disappointment. Our bay window shingles. Part of the render agreement is to remove them...

Hi guys, Would anyone be able to suggest the best way to frame this flat roof (cold roof because of height restrictions)? Will be using C24 9” x 3" and all the internal walls are solid block load bearing. I was thinking about creating a 2 way fall to each side with firring strips. OSB and then...

Thanks to this lovely weather I've got to re felt my shed tbh I've been patching it up for a while. I've no idea how I'm going to do it as I can't get the left fascia off as the previous owner has put it up against the wall. Any advice on what felt I should get? I've had a quick look on...

My roofer has recommended Cromar Vent3 (the basic one) to re felt my pitched roof, but on checking I see there is also a Pro version, should I insist that he uses the Pro? Cheers John https://www.cromarbuildingproducts.com/products/vent3/ - basic membrane...

Evening, I need to re-felt my shed. Is a good quality felt ok, or should I spend more time / money on a separate underlay and topsheet? Cheers.

I built a decked area with a gazebo above it. I laid 18mm ply on the top with felt which lips over the edges by about 6". Unfortunately I didn't calculate the overhang right. As a result of this, driving rain gets into the gazebo from all sides. Currently it's soaking wet. I'm a bit gutted about...

Working in crawlspace at the minute to insulate floors and pipes. Current pipes have this felt type lagging around it and I'm quite hesitant to disturb it. Question is... do you reckon it's Asbestos or not? Pipe Lagging 01 by costley posted 8 May 2019 at 11:05 AM Pipe Lagging 02 by costley...

Hi all, I have a wall that is above a flat roof extension, the flat roof is felted and gravelled, I have to remove some very poor mortaring from the brickwork, the mortar will eventually need removing as it is a different colour to the rest of the mortar but for now all I have to do is remove...

Hello everyone, new to the forum, ive just moved into a property and my attention has now turned to the roof, I knew the roof wasn't in great shape when I bought the house and throughout the years there is evidence of repair jobs and replaced tiles. The house was built somewhere between the...
