Roof Repairs
Hi,
Last night I saw Rogue Traders about dodgy roofers. Which reminded me that I had to start looking for someone to fix some torn felt in the roof space and lay down thicker insulation. Would anyone have an idea of how much approximately it would cost for such a job to be done? My house is semi-detached with concrete slate tiles, and as mentioned felt which is torn in several places. Thanks for your advice. Regards Mark |

As for insulation it's a job pretty much anyone can do with a bit of care - why pay someone else to do it? Hi, Ive been checking and there didnt seem to be rain coming through, although I really need to do a more throrough check. There's currently some old loose fill insulation up there, and wasnt sure if it should be removed (i.e. hoovered up), or just lay some insulation on top of it. I suppose I could get the DIY manual out to see what's needed to do it :-)... If you're serious about it, then why not put together a post to this NG detailing what you currently have and asking for advice about what you need and how you should go about fitting it. That's what the group is here for |

Perhaps where vents have been put in the roof? Just a thought. Hugh |
