Default Flat Felted Roof

Any tips for repair/renwal of my garage roof, which is flat felted
type.
Looks the wood is chipboard, some/all of which will need replaced.
Tried a repair before with limited success, but think main problem was
poor quality felt (Homebase).
Heard of few people recommend felt that has bitumen bottom surface
that you need to heat with blowtorch to adhere to roof/underfelt.
Felt I used had no such thing and I had to use brush on "stuff" to
seal joins.

TIA

You can use better products, for example fibreglass or the rubber they
use for fish ponds. Fibre glass is molded to shape, and makes a solid
waterprrof surface - it can be a messy job.

The rummer sheeting goes over in one piece, specil clips hold it down.
