Default Removing bottom row of cement roof tiles, to repair felt.

These are exactly what you need. Lift the edge of a few tiles at a time
with a batten, slide in the soffit protector/felt support UNDER the
felt. Fit the next one along with a 100mm or so overlap.
The short angled edge folds over into the gutter, normally not needing
any fixings but the odd well aimed felt nail can help.


You've answered the question I was going to ask: can this stuff be inserted
without actually removing the bottom row of tiles. So my question now is:
Since the product comes in 1.5m lenths (for example), what is the best way
to lift four or five (or so) heavy tiles at a time in order to insert the
strip? I was hoping to do this job from a ladder. Is that feasable?
