    Nah mate, roofing felt or tar paper is an underlayment for asphalt shingles. While roofing felt uses similar materials as asphalt shingles, we use both underlayment, and shingles (sometimes terra Cotta tiles in the southwest)

      It’s still just two layers of a manufactured felt or bitumen, the quality of tiling, flashing and lead in the UK is beyond compare. There’s flashing on a church near me that’s nearly a thousand years old.
