Don't assume the refurbishment trays will perform without additional works. When using them it is 'normal' to also replace the bottom row of felt for a breathable variant, which of course entails removing or pushing back several courses of tiles. (Am I correct in assuming concrete tiles here?)
One cannot just insert the trays and hope to get them under the existing felt. I wouldn't do this off of ladders. A scaffold is required and I'm in the trade! Scaffolding is cheap for what it allows you to achieve. NOTE:- Scaffolders will likely try and take you for a ride if they think that you're a know FA homeowner.
