  • Who knows about roofing?

    Our place has the original Edwardian clay tiles on the front with a loft conversion flat roof on the rear.

    The tiles on the front are in need of some tlc; a few have slipped and the cement render on the chimney is looking quite sad.

    I also suspect there is little insulation around the loft conversion.

    I'd like to do two things - renovate / modernise* / repair the existing roofing and chimney and add insulation to the loft conversion - are these two things doable within one job, and will I have to pull the walls / ceilings down on the inside to do it?

    * whilst retaining the Edwardian features / look

  • When I was looking it seems like there are ways to insulate from above while the roof is off and insulate over the rafters. One of the roofers we had round was talking about doing that with TLX Gold but it was pricey and we needed to pull the conversion to pieces anyway and fix all the other problems.

  • Ta. I'm rapidly trying to skill myself up on this. If we are going to get the roof renovated I don't want to miss the opportunity to put other efficiency / comfort savings in.
