I have just replaced a felted flat roof with a 12.5 degree (lean too type) pitched tiled roof with much help and advice from this forum. The roof is somewhat un-orthadox in that the rafters run from left to right rather than top to bottom. I had planned to use standard vent tiles at the top and ventilated soffit at the bottom, however thinking about it, now, when the plaster board and insullation is added only the top two rafters and the bottom one at the soffit will be ventilated.
The total area of the roof is 32sq m. 8x4m. The first 5x4 abut the main house wall to a load baring wall and is a kitchen. I intend to retain the high sloping ceiling. The remaining area is a utility room with a normal hight ceiling with a small loft space above.. A workaround could be to insert air bricks at the top of the outer wall of the utility room and then more at the top of the inner load baring wall. However I am struglling to come up with a sollution for the other end where it abutts the main house.
Is there a way of venting it under or adjacent to the flashing. Is there a product out there made for such a situtation?
