Just noticed that the felt in my garage is leaking.

The waters running through a hole in the felt and dripping down the gap between the outside brick and the inside block. Making the wall soaked.

Is this an expensive job to fix up if any one has any experience with this ..?

Am alos concerned about the damage being done to the wall.. in the mean time.

Have a look on screwfix for emergency roof repair - about ?15 for a 1 litre tin you brush on, has done the job for me in the past.

Just visit the nearest farm!!!!!!!!!!

Cow (dung) used over the world over 1000 years ago, 100% water proof at no cost??.

Mix the shite with clay and spread over the leaking area.

Job done.

much as id like to try out Supers suggestion, lol, id go instead for Rito sealant. 10 minutes work might put off reroofing for a couple years.
