I recently moved into a bungalow and am planning a bit of renovation. The previous owner had had a lot of work done on grants, which I suspect may have something to do with the roofing - there's vent tiles fitted literally every couple of feet the entire way around the house.
I had a roofer out who said there was no godly need for it - is it likely this has been done to take advantage of a blank cheque from the council?
I've been into the eaves and it's like a wind tunnel, can't imagine it's doing the heating bill much good. I'd imagine having some removed/patched over would cost more than it's worth though. Presumably, I could block off the vents on every other one?
On a related note, there's no insulation up there either - ideally I'd put kingspan on the pitched roof as I had done in my last property, but the attic's already converted, so wondering what the next best option is? Was hoping I could do more than just a little fibreglass on the limited amount of floor space that's accessible.
