Thinking about getting the roof overhauled using the same tiles, and

have much traditional insulation over the ceiling, the ceiling joists
don't allow much depth and we still want to use the loft space for
storage.


Don't even think about it. It's a bodge of the first order and you'll
regret it.


I can't see anything wrong with bonding slates together from below but
that wouldn't involve covering the whole surface with foam. A couple of
lines of foam between each joist would probably be sufficient, and
that's an easy d-i-y job. It would make the slates unuseable in the
event of a refit though

I've wondered about that before. Screw some metal wires to the joists
so the wires run across the underside of the slates so the foam bonds
slates to foam to wire to joists, then it should all stay in place
regardless of nail condition. At least for as long as the foam lasts.

With only a little line of foam it should be easy enough to cut it
underneath before removing. Has this ever been tried?
