Hi,
I have a vaulted ceiling. The vaulted part is about 1.5 metres long, contains Celotex insulation with a gap between the insulation and the felt, and leads into a normal loft. The felt is breathable, and I’m hoping that this is enough, but maybe not.
The roof has no fascia or soffit as the house is very old. The rafters run down to and through the wall, and the roof overhangs the wall by a tile’s length or so, sitting on marine board. There is a cross-section attached.
I have become very aware of the fact there is no ventilation at eaves height (though there are ventilation tiles in the main part of the loft). How do I retrofit ventilation without having to do anything too major? I am hoping there is a product I can use at eaves height to lift a roof tile by a couple of cm to let air in, but I guess even that would need to go under the felt?
Or should I simply drill some holes at the top of the wall, between the rafters, and cover with some sort of vent cover/mesh?
I have a similar issue with a warm roof on a loft conversion, which has dry ridge but no eaves level ventilation. Again, the felt is breathable and I’m hoping that this is enough, but would be grateful for advice.
Many thanks!
