New roof

[dave1967]

Afternoon

I had a new roof late last year. Got to say i am disappointed with the job done. Mainly poor attention to detail.

I've been having issues with water on the felt and collecting behind the fascias. I had a look today and was thinking if the felt going over the valleys is the issue and if it need cutting back. See pics. Oh and he wont come back to sort it.

Any thoughts on this. My thinking is water will be straight onto the felt in wet and windy weather.

A roofer will know more. However my thought is that these are lots of drips at nails, ie through nail holes. There isn't a great distance upslope from tile bottom to hole and the tiles are flat, so it could be capillary action plus wind.

Do nails show through the felt? What is above the felt in the way of battens or board?

The 2nd roofer i had wont come back but took the cash.

I think the saddle detail may be the issue as it has the adhesive strip over the top. I would have put it underneath. There is a good chance water is getting in here as what you can see is not stuck so rain may be running under the valley tray and coming out at the bottom side of the dormer. Any thoughts appreciated
