u can patch the roof. cut the timber back to the joists, then cut some ply and fix into place. you can buy torch on felt. you will need some torch on underlay and some torch on green mineral. cut to size and heat until the tar is just melting. then fold it down and it will stick. then repeat with the green mineral. i would allow 6 to 8 inches lap onto the existing felt
