Hi, I have a problem with overlapping felt on our roof. 6 months ago we had to change a few tiles and felt due to 80mph wind. We got a so called professional in and we thought they did the job. But now it’s getting windy we noticed the felt is overlapping. can I go to the loft and some how pull the felt a few inches inside the house? Called the builders several time but they make so many excuses and the noise the overlapping felt makes is so loud that it’s hard to sleep at night... will appreciate if someone can give me some advice. Thanks

Vinaldo. good evening.
The felt should overlap, that way any rain water that gets past the tiles / slates whatever is shed down the roof slope to the gutter.
The top that is the up-slope felt should overlap the lower lower of felt to maintain the above.
Suggest you do not pull / stretch the felt at all but?
How about carefully cutting some off cuts of timber battens, say 50.mm X 50. mm and jamb them between the rafters in a place that prevents the loose felt from flapping??
