Default slate roof - felt or not?

At the moment there is no felt, he advises felt,
is there any reason not to use felt?


Well there are better materials that last longer, and yes you should use
SOMETHING.


or is there an even better option?

I will use a professional for this
as I almost broke my back in a fall a few years ago,
and ladders scare me!


No criticism on that score from me.;-)
