I have a 2 storey Victorian terraced house with an 'up and over' main roof and lean to back addition roof. The inside of the roof has been coated with polyurethane foam. This was done before I bought the house about 20 years ago.
I would like to have a couple of veluxes put in the front slope (west facing) but have been told of the problems the spraybonding will cause. Some roofers are happy to do the job explaining that they will strip off the foam in the relevant areas first. Would anybody doing the job need scaffolding?
I am concerned about having this work done because it is obviously not at all straight forward. Would I be better off having the roof slope stripped and re-slated with the veluxes put in as part of the job? Presumably this would mean new lathes would have to be fitted as the slates would have to be smashed off.
Any advice would be most welcome
