Holes in roof felt

Question

There are a few holes in our roof felt. Does the whole lot need replacing or can it be patched?

Ryan · Answer

Unfortunately you can not patch them up as you would be creating more damage. I would advise doing the hole thing.

Walter · Answer

The life span for bitumen based felt is between 20-30 so its quite likely that your felt is well past its use by date.

Simon · Answer

Can be repaired quite a easy job and would not take long to do depending on weather slate or tile

Jason · Answer

You would be better to have someone look at it. It may be the case a repair will work or it may need to replace. Its hard to say without looking.

I can arrange this for you if you like

James · Answer

Just depends on how bad it is if it’s not too bad then can patch it

James · Answer

This is a hard one to Anwser because if it’s down to wear and tear then I would recommend redoing the whole thing, but if it’s holes in felt caused by an impact on it a patch up would be required

James · Answer

You can patch up but to guarantee should replace the whole m2 along if this helps s

Luke · Answer

Depends on weather you want someone up there fixing it every other week which will cost more in the long run I personally wouldn't patch felt as a tradesman because I couldn't guarantee the work

Brian · Answer

No it can be patched  but if it is to bad to patch u wood be better of replace the felt again and reues the again

Luke · Answer

Hi there it can be patched as a short term fix,
But if there are holes in one spot there’s a big chance that there are others,  felt usually deteriorates after about fifteen years so you could check when your roof was last worked on

Craig · Answer

This can be patched by taking tiles off and cutting in a patch of felt then replace the tiles
