This official document seems to back up my comments? Make your own mind up! by Charles Stirling NBS Technical Author The ever increasing levels of thermal insulation required by thermal regulations can result in a higher risk of condensation forming on those elements not enclosed by this...

Definatly EPDM, Firestone seems to be the pick of the bunch, 50 year life expectancy, single sheet with no joins. Very easy as a DIY job

No Probs :lol:

just reinforcing freddys comment, have you any constructive advice???

definatly a good product, i would advise getting a quote and ask for a trade price i think i paid around £6m2 for the rubber sheet. then they worked the glue and trims out for me. The last thing you want is to run out of glue :D

I would probably wait to see how the new felt performs, technically it should work. A good idea would be check the existing vents on your soffit, a common error i have come across is when people insulate there loft they will block the vents and reduce the air flow. Check the fibreglass has not...

definatly reccomend the HedgeHog gutter brush, very good product only costs around £4 per mtr, will be the last time you get the ladder out to clean the gutters. :D

You are making a good choice by replacing the roofing felt, a breathable felt will allow the roof to breath reducing the condensation, it is also a good idea to install soffit vents to allow a flow of air throughout the loft. If you find the fan is not clearing all of the damp in your bathroom...

Hi, The company website is www.permaroof.co.uk They have a DVD you can view and plenty of information on the Firestone System. They cut the sheets down from large rolls and they supply an edge trim that finishes the roof so dont worry about the cuts :wink: . I normally send a diagram in to a guy...

The condensation will more than lightly be down to poor ventilation, this can easily be solved by venting the soffits to allow a flow of air between the rafters, addition tile or ridge vents can also be installed. This should be the quickest and easiest solution.

Hi, I would definately recommend EPDM, i have found the Firestone covering is very effective as it has a life expectancy of 50 years. It comes cut to size in one piece and is installed using a water based adhesive direct to timber. I have used a company called Permaroof UK for my dormer they...

If your ceiling is mouldy it means that you will need to ventilate between the joists, The warm air from the room is rising and when it hits the cold roofing membrane it condensates and becomes trapped, hence the damp on the ceiling. Filling the roofspace will not solve the problem, i would...
