Should i be able to see the roofing felt and eaves tray?
I've just had new fascias and guttering installed and I've noticed the roofing felt and eaves tray is visible which I couldn't see before. The old guttering was a different type to the new guttering so I'm not sure if this makes a difference. Is the slope of the guttering causing it to be visible?

Is this to be expected and can anything be done to make it less visible?

I should not see the eaves or felt
Eaves guard can be fixed underneath bottom tiles to reach the gutter and cover the eaves
to do both sides of your house would be ,£300 include materials
Thanks harry
The felt is meant to go in to the guttering . These days they use felt protector trays instead
The roofing felt should be cut back to the tiles and the felt support trays should also be flush with the tile. It can be fixed by removing the first course and the felt support trays and reinstalling to correct height
No you shouldn’t the felt should be placed under the batons once the batons are set right is when your place the tiles/slate for final look
No should all be covered securely
Yes this is normal to see this
You should not able to see the roofing felt and tray from the ground
If so you can reline the gutting higher up, so it won’t be as visible
Hi yes the felt should be visible along the guttering line this helps any water travelling from further up the roof down to run into the guttering as opposed to the eaves causing the joists to rot
This is probably due to the change in gutter style, it could potentially be more hidden by raising the guttering
