Default Watching the snow melt on rooves

Taking into account sunshine (It's briefly been sunny after a lot of
snow here) you can see who's got plenty of loft insulation (or no
heating on) - on the semis there's a band inbetween properties where
the dividing wall is that melts first.
And on the house with the strange extension on the roof their snow
melted first of all this morning.

(It's a really strange dormer extension that sticks out at the side as
well as the back - the one they had the huge amount of scaffolding for
ages ago)


So what can you do about the gap between houses? Is it a cavity up to
the roof and should it be insulated?

Party walls vary. There are cavity ones. The one I was familiar with
was a 9" brick wall up to about 2' below the roof, and a half brick
wall from there up to the roof.

the roof and should it be insulated?


Might just be residual heat retained in the bricks from the previous
day, keeping that bit of the roof warmer.

Agreed, the reported comments from the coppers on the day doesn't show them
at their best.

I am reminded of the story of the tealeaf who went a-burgling in the
snow. It didn't require a very observant copper to follow his
footsteps home.
