House is 1970's property with tile roof and traditional felt membrane, we have some condensation issues I now think due partly to low amounts of insulation.
The roof is a cold roof with old fibreglass insulation in place, depth is currently CIRCA 10cm, but it's really patchy (multiple layers / going to scraps in places). I have patch repaired in places but I now think this is insufficient.
The roof joists are on the small side 45mm X 75mm at 40cm centres.
The loft is boarded out partially which compresses the existing insulation down. As the roof pitch is 30 degrees am concerned that raising this area may well inhibit headroom and am not confident in the loft legs I see available online.
Any ideas on how to add a decent amount of insulation while retaining storage space?
Is there anything I can do to stop condensation, for instance, I wonder if I could beef up the insulation with glass fibre and staple Foil Wrap Insulation to the roof rafters?
