Hi
Recently moved into a 1960s build Dormer bungalow and the plasterboard was shot on the dormer flat part of the roof, so I set about replacing it.
When I removed the wrecked board it was apparent there was no insulation above - but if you look up the rafters on the main pitched part of the roof, there is wool type insulation below tiles and above the rafters with brown paper underneath it.
All the main roof is like this and I assume this is a warm roof even though the insulation is about 20mm thick.
My question is can I insulate the flat roof between the rafters and plasterboard without causing any problems with the rest of the roof? If so, what would be the best approach?
Also, am I storing up any problems by leaving my roof open like this until I fix it.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
