It really depends what you want to do about it, if you want new felt or not? if you do you will need scaffolding, remove tiles & battens install modern breathable felt then batten & tile etc. (basically a re-roof)
In my opinion if it isnt leaking dont worry about it, and if you have been told otherwise by scaremongers tell them to hit the road, also never have an internal spay of any kind.
My roof is that old there is no felt, and is perfectly fine.
Dont worry !

Some old houses survive for years with no felt..... Really it is a second form of defense and if your roof is not leaking I woulnt bother about it.

Hi Molly_36
It sounds like your felt has perished. You may need to replace soon, ie refelt & batten, you may be able to reuse your tiles.

big what? job, repair, price, is it not just old felt that may even have new felt over it?
sometimes roofers dont always remove all the old felt if its not doing any harm.

if you can see the underside of the roof tiles yes it is a problem.
if its the joins that have to much of an overlap then probably not
would have to see the inside of the loft to be able to determine if it is or is not a problem.
post on the site and get an expert round to check
