I dont think the roof is origional as a neighbour a few doors down has slate tiles and mine look newer. Wouldnt be suprised if a hatch has been boarded over as the man who lived here before me had dome strange ways of doing things. Ill speak to a few neighbours. By the time i get sorted it'll be...

Thanks for your help, I think I will see if I can get the chip board floor up and then get the DPM down there, sounds like a fun job!! Adele
