Sounds like he thinks you're a footballer and has added Man City tax on top of anything he quotes.

Thanks @noseall As I already have the Vapor Control Layer. So ideally would like to use that, and then I guess plasterboard on top.

You are right, 120mm is not sufficient for the cold roof system, I have just confirmed this on the phone with my building regs contact. He confirmed your suggestion to append an additional layer of insulation to achieve minimum thickness of 150mm. I'm grateful for you guys on here, saved me a...

Hi Noseall, thanks for getting back - I'm abit confused though, so you think 120mm is not sufficient enough? As stated: - 7*2 joists - 120mm insulation --> Remaining air gap once insulation aligns with joists approx 55mm Opting to apply: - Expanding foam to any gaps - Vapor control...

Thanks for moving to the appropriate thread

This isn't so major, it's just annoying/inconvenience. But we shall see - I appreciate all your comments.

I think you got it - the slope seems to just stop short. I'll get a piccy, to show you under the hood Do you reckon it will in essence though shorten the lifespan in the long run? Updated edit: Please see the image attached - you're correct it runs short of the final 2 or so joists... Is...

Anyone, no course for concern?

Hi all, Now we've had a bit of rain, this is the state of play at the moment with the roof. Is this level of pooling normal?!

Anyone?
