Can you elaborate?

Today it's a cool 16c outside and the thermometer is registering the eaves at 39.6c I expect heat with the tile colour we have (of course they will get hot) but did expect the eaves to be able to vent the build up. Does 39.6c seem excessive in the eaves for an outside temp of 16c? I'm not...

Thank you for the advice I think there was a gap at the top of the cladding to the soffit and at the bottom (the lead is under the cladding) but the lead from tiles to cladding at the bottom is tight with no gaps. Presume that is normal, but no idea. I've not had much luck with communication...

How would you ventilate behind the cladding? With battens? If so there were battens

Thanks noseall. No idea if those were fitted at all

First photo is stood under the soffit facia facing up Second is where the tile ends on the slope Third shows the flashing at the top of the eaves to the dormer

JJ thanks. There are no vents in the soffits at all. How would this extract hot air as it would be the lowest point and outside the top of the eaves is flashing covering the tiles and joining to the cladding that covers the dormer

What sort of vents? Do they stop rain getting in? These weren't mentioned by the roofer.

I know in the ridge tiles they have vents usually, but what about in an eaves that is outside of the dormer? Would you put a vent on the sloped part of the roof?

No vents were installed

Thanks Freddy, the dormer itself is a wooden framed dormer. The cladding is cedral click cladding, which is a fibre cement cladding. The roofers supplied a breathable felt and counter batten to allow airflow. I recall them putting the polystyrene type insulation with foil backing on against the...

Hi all, We just had our dormer bungalow roof replaced. It had red concrete tiles before on the slope and on the dormer front and sides, but we replaced with natural slate and the dormer face with slate effect cladding. The dormer and roof were reinsulated as the previous insulation was quite...
