Hello, we have a Victorian terraced house and are considering a roof renewal which includes replacing roof tiles, flashings, membrane and battens. The roof tile replacement is like-for-like and the roof is pitched.
I understand that we may need to apply for a BReg inspection, as the roof renewal is not a structural change and the loading doesn't change, but it covers >25% of roof area. However the Part L insulation bit is confusing.
Existing roof has old felt underneath without insulation, and loft insulation is at ceiling level (but this is old and thin).
The main question is how do we satisfy the BRegs inspection about insulation?
1. New roof insulation e.g. the Kingspan Pitched Roof boards between the rafters?
2. New ceiling insulation between the ceiling joists?
Or will the exterior roof work (tiles, membrane, battens) alone satisfy BRegs?
Thanks!
