Hi,
The flat roof of my kitchen leaks, when there is heavy rain and I need some advice on remedial repairs.
The house is going on the market shortly and is likely to be purchased by a developer who will knock down the original dwelling, since there is now planning permission for a replacement.
However, in the meantime, I want to stop water leaking into the kitchen.
It seems that the roof timbers may be rotten, but I really do not want to go to the expense of replacing the whole roof, just for one winter.
Is it feasible to just nail on a sheet of felt as a temporary measure?
The main roof overhangs the flat roof slightly, so the felt could be positioned 'up and under', to prevent water getting under it at that point.
I realise this would be a bodge job, but it would purely be intended to keep the house habitable.
Are there any better ideas for a short-term repair?
Thanks.
