Had ours fibre glassed about 10 years ago. New OSB boards, the old
torch-on felt had failed and knackered those boards. Took the
oportunity to fit 100 mm of celotext between the roof joists. The
fibre glass is still waterproof or at least if it is leaking it's not
getting to anywhere visible inside. But then there is a poly sheet on
the warm side of the insulation and up and over the joists...


Big snag is actually knowing how long these 'new' methods do last. Plenty
claims, though. The decking is marine ply, so hoping it will still be
just fine. The chippie who did the work was very good indeed.
