I've had a good look at the forums, but still can't find the answer I'm looking for, so hopefully someone can help.
I'm going to be insulating a 100 year old loft for the first time, and understand that I need to ensure good ventilation to prevent condensation. I can see daylight through gaps in the eaves (in between the bird nests), and there's no felt under the roof tiles. But is it enough to leave a gap between the insulation and the tiles, or do I need to put in eaves ventilators? The soffit boards (?) are hard to get to and filthy, so I'd rather not.
Any ideas?
