Ferdinand Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I am looking for a word. What are the things called that you put under the bottom edge of old roofs to keep water out. They are like a membrane but just under the bottom row or two of tiles above the gutter? The issue I have is a damp patch on the ceiling below a low-pitch roof - suspect current conditions have blown water up under the tiles, or possibly a valley gutter which needs repair. I am going to have a look at it today or tomorrow. The tiles are double romans at a roof pitch of perhaps 25-30 degrees, and the valley is between an inner right angle corner. In accordance with the Law of Sod, it is above the car port but fortunately above the ground floor only. It may be politic to replace the valley gutter but I do not want to do the whole side of the roof if avoidable. Comments are very welcome.
