Default How shall I stop my garage roof leaking?

My garage roof is leaking like buggery, i know i can replace the lining on the roof but wondering if there is any quick fix for the time being, given the crappy weather. Is there like a tar sort of stuff i can paint on to seal it for now? Here is the roof.

a new roll of roofing felt from B+Q and some bitumen paint will do it.

you can get paint thats much better than bitumen for the roofs.its a gray colour and got fibres threw it.
cant remember the name right now but will have a look tomorow at work as we have been using it lately and its great for painting all the seems to stop water getting in.with the fibres in it it helps seal any small holes much better.can also be painted on when still wet and the moisture helps the paint cure better.
really good shit.just really messy and a nightmare to ome of anything you get it on

Was going to suggest the same stuff, don't know the name either though haha..

A guy used it at work as a temp seal on our roof at work and it's held perfectly for about 5 years so far! Goes on nice and thick/sticky/gooey
