Two years ago we bought anold 1950's house - I specifically asked about the roof as it looked older than the majority of houses on our estates who've had theirs redone.
We've got a really big loft which I've mostly boarded, however the torching underneath the tiles causes a huge amount of dust - I can't go into the loft to retrieve anything without needing to shower afterwards and cough for the rest of the day if I venture in without a mask.
Obviously having a new roof is probably the best way to go but I'd like to think we'd get a few more years out of this one and in the meantime I'm just wondering if anyone has made the best of having a loft underneath this type of roof? My father in law suggested installing some type of mesh/membrane underneath to stop it falling on everything we've got store up there - has anyone done this?
