Last year John Wayne, Alan Ladd, James Stewart and a few of their
cronies came and did some work on our house.

One of the things they did was to replace the knackered gutters and
downpipes. *However, the felt that (I assume, not being a roofer) is
supposed to protrude from beneath the tiles and lap over the edge of
the gutter was rotten, and wasn't replaced. *The gutter is not
reliably immediately below the edge of the tiles, so in places the
rain tends to drip off the roof and fall directly onto the wall below.

The felt is not meant to do that (although it does sometimes). The gutter
*is* meant to be "reliably under the tile edge", though.



We're all out of cash, so I'm looking for a cheap and reasonably long-
lasting solution. *One thing I've considered is to insert lengths of
(say) damp proof membrane underneath the last course or two of tiles,
and lap it over the gutter.

Well, it won't do any harm



However, is there a better solution?

Adjust/refit *the gutter, I'm afraid

Thanks for the reply. I've spoken to the supplier of the guttering
(Lindab) and their rep is due to call to see how best to sort it.
