    wasps in roof

    Just make sure there's no way for them to get in or out and then the ones that are left in there will soon die - end of problem. Make sure any venilation gaps are insect proof and seal up any other gaps with silicone (as a quick-fix). Check the mortar is still between the ridge tiles - if not...

    Flat roof insulation

    For pitched roofs you need 50mm air gap if you're not using breathable felt. That would be plenty for your electric cable (i think) Not sure if 100mm kingspan is enough - someone else will have to help you there. As far as i know about 150 x 150mm is required around downlights - the...
