Can You Put A Mineral Felt On Top Of A Pitched Concrete Tile Roof?
13 Answers
I am considering putting the felt on top of the tiles...
Has anyone done such thing?
The roof is still having dripping noise, it's obvious there is a leak somewhere that the roofer and I can't find.

The tiles have been done badly by the builder. It should have 100mm overlap and it had 50mm.
To be honest we can't see any visible leaks in the loft. Just dripping noise between the edge of the ceiling next to the window lintle...

Definitely not, newbie. Apart from not looking very good, it would be almost impossible to do the job neatly.
Your problem is most likely to be driven rain coming in under the lap.
Concrete tiles should be minimum 75mm headlap, but only with a steep pitch, and facing away from the prevailing wind.
Rather than have someone continually tinkering with it, do please think about having the tiles taken off, then re-laid on new felt and battens. Tiles laid with a 100mm headlap.
Honestly, it's the only way. Concrete tiles take no time at all to lift and be re-laid. Much cheaper in the long run.
