I had a leaking flat zinc roof on a dormer in summer which I fixed. I left it open in the bedroom so I could check it when it pours with rain which happens here all summer and it's been perfect.
I decided to stick a sheet of ply on the ceiling as a temporary measure for winter and insulated between the timbers with sheeps wool which I've been using in the house.
The ply sheet was about 6 inch to small but fine as a temporary measure.
I took the sheet off today and under the wool is soaking. I'm presuming this is from room condensation.
What are my options when I permanently refit this. Can I insulate or should I leave it empty? There is sarking board at the sides of the dormer but the roof void isnt really ventilated and there is no soffit etc in which to put vents.
I'm planning to finish the room side with timber t and g linings.
Thanks
