    Asbestos Roof.

    Is the roof damaged? If not leave it alone, it will only cause an issue if the fibres are released when the sheets are broken up. If it is only cracked it can coated with liquid systems or even overlaid with Onduline Bitumen roof sheets. Some councils will indeed remove them from...

    Is my roof design right

    There does seem some confusion on this point, agreed it was always the case that insulation above the rafter denoted as a warm roof but seems to have widened so that it is also a warm roof where the insulation follows the complete line of the rafter and the vapour control layer is below the...

    EPDM Rubber Roof (Firestone) Cost

    Is our roofer mad? Raise roof height to fit insulation?

    Woody is correct that the works are notifiable and the local BC will advise of any upgrade of insulation required. We've had similar issues with vaulted ceilings and have been advised to use a product called TLX-Gold which is an insulated breather underlay plus rigid insulation between the...
