Hi. Very informative. My roofer hasn't folded the upper lip or upper part of the felt onto the batton above. Infact it's hanging down into the loft. I saw that the home's original extractor fan and sewer ducts also have hanging felt all around them? Is that acceptable ? I showed him this video and he says dont worry? I have done thousands and there wont be a problem?? Losing my sleep over it. Please help??
You get this from roofers over and over again. Most of them never read the installation instructions for the products they fit (in fact, a lot of them have poor reading skills); they often do things the wrong way simply because that's how they've always done it. The fact they they haven't had much comeback does not mean that their work was satisfactory. We often find someone different when we realise the person we had before wasn't that good. They are not the brightest people except when it comes to finding excuses and telling you things to confuse you and shut you up. Most of what they say is untrue (even if they don't realise it). The only way to get the job done right is to find out how it should be done and get this written into the quotation (this is a binding contract). Unfortunately, seeing that you know what you're talking about and insisting on using correct procedures, a lot of them will find excuses not to give you a quote.
@@michaelwoodman5976 you are absolutely right. However if you think about it logically, if you fold the felt up and place the vent over it , it should stay in place? But also the air vent tile/slate is designed that when it rains the water runs down the bottom of the slate/tile onto the slate/tile below?! Wouldn't you say? I am not a roofer. I am though choosing between a roof tile vent OR a multi lead slate...to allow a soil pipe to go through the roof and out. My main question at the moment is which one will do the job better? The air vent tile I could do myself ££££% but the mutli lead slate I will get a roofer to do ££££.
I have those in my roof but they are just open ended in the loft. Are they used to keep a loft ventilated? Also below one of them the ceiling looks damp and cold on the thermal image camera, can these let water come in through the fins?
If someone can answer this would water go through when it rain?

Same here. But I’m not using it for extraction. But still worried too
@@EpicInsaniTv i think felt is folded for neatness.

hi could this be retro-fitted into an already tiles roof ?
It could indeed, 🤞🔨🇮🇪
