I have recently had a new tv aerial fitted and the guy climbed up the
roof by slipping out some roof tiles. However I have now looked in the
roof attic to find that the roofing felt has been puntured where he
climbed, presumably by the tips of his feet. Is there anyway of
repairing this from inside the roof ?

Yes. Go to Jewsons and buy 10m of slater's felt, to match whatever
you have on your roof. Buy a tin of Rubberoid adhesive, too. Cut
lengths of felt fropm the roll to fit between the rafters where
the sarking is damaged. Glue them on with the adhesive (extremely
black sticky gunk that you can get off your skin with paraffin or
similar). The bottom of the section you are sticking on should be
tucked in above the section below, with a good overlap, so that
water doesn't run in. Hold the stuck on bit up with battens 'till
the adhesive has set.
