    B&Q do a paint on gloopy stuff for roofs, if you do replace anty of the felt, remember to dip the nails in the gloop, i cant remember what the gloop is called tho

    no nails into the concrete, use a felt adhesive, probably going to need 10ltrs for a decent sized garage roof.

    Can you not do the job propely and put a slate or tiled roof on , obviously its going to cost a lot more money, but done right for life.
