Hi all, What a great site - Iv just spent my first hour on it and learnt loads!
Id be really grateful if someone could advise me on my problem.. Iv just boarded my loft in my new house which has a slate roof (nothing underneath) and straight away everything got covered in dust from the slate.. Iv read other posts that suggest brown paper (to catch slate dust and be able to spot leaks ) and also not insulating in any way(as who wants to insulate the attic roof when they should be insulating ceilings of top floor ) All new to me but makes sense!!
Is brown paper (any type in particular and how do i attach it?) the way forward or how about some chip board or ply!? Or some sort of poly plastic covering? I just want to store boxes and clothes up there. Looking for something quick and cheap. Thanks in advance..
Kind regards
Nat
