We have a ground floor extension with pitched roof at the front of our house. The walls of this house feel very cold to the touch. They feel hollow to the knock, so I assume some use of plasterboard.

Following thoughts such as:

... I'd like to inspect the construction of my wall to check we are not getting draughts in these walls.

What is the best way of accomplishing this, given it's just a ground floor with a pitched roof over? Can I lift the roof tiles? How to cope with any membrane under that? I would also like to inspect the insulation while I'm there.
