Shed roof leaking

    I have few leaks in my shed. The only reason why I know is that there is water on the ceiling timber slats. The roof felt is green and has 1mm-2mm stones on it. I can't seem to locate the source of leak.
    Is there anything that can be done. I was trying to patch it but I am unable to buy similar felt sheets. Have tried B&Q, Woodies and McMahons.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    If its a timber shed its most likely green mineral felt on it you can buy it in rolls on any builders providers.
    No point in patching it just replace the whole lot.

    I tried at the local DIY shops. The top has a sand finish. Mine has 1mm-2mm stone finish. Could not find it anywhere locally.

    Yeah mineral felt should never be patched up just replace the whole lot any building merchants should sell it. Or if your handy you could apply metal sheeting, look up done deal for second-hand sheeting.

    Thanks for all your help. I went to one of my local builder provider and I found it there. I have decided to replace the whole lot. Now comes the second set of issues for me. Havn't done one before.
    Can I put the new one on top of the old or do I need to rip it and start fresh. Either case how to I put them on. What is the best way to do it. Nail it? or stick it?
