Hello
I am currently gathering quotes for work on a loft conversion on a 1930s detached house. The roof requires a complete strip and recover with new roof tiles, battens, membrane etc including the construction of dormers.
Whilst the roof is completely stripped is it benefical to have insulation fitted before the new battens, tiles are fitted? Is this known as a warm deck? Or is it better to have the insulation fitted between the doubled-up rafters?
I realise that BC will require the correct U value achieved, just wondering best way to do this. Any saving on head height would be an advantage.
Many thanks for any comments
