Hi Stevie I have found from experience the last two runs of tiles are the most problematic regarding tiled roofs as this I always where the old underfelt perishes first. Normally roofers remove bottom two run of tiles, cut back underfelt and slip under these eaves trays underneath then replace roof tiles. www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/rigid-eaves-protector-15m-packs-of-10.html Hope this helps your situation Regards James Hornet Roofing

The felt in most older roofs are often problematic. A simple solution is to do this; Have a roofer quote to strip out bottom 3 course of tiles, take off old tile batterns and roofing felt. Replace roofing felt and tile battens and re-tile. This should cure the problem. Make sure there is no broken / cracked tiles as this could also cause problems. Also check round the chimney stack for perished lead flashings / missing pointing etc. Hope this helps and I hope you get sorted real soon. Regards M Davies
