  • Loft conversion questions, just had a quote and there's an option for temporary tin roof. Will my house wash away in the great storm if I just go for tarpaulin? I don't mind paying extra if it's actually needed but could also do with not spending an extra 4 grand if not really necessary .

  • I didn't go for one. Ended up with a couple of leaks which resulted in some damp patches on a couple of ceilings (although under slightly unusual circumstances, they'd stopped work over Christmas and it snowed then melted).

    Rectifying it took a couple of coats of paint, definitely not £4k.

    I think the guys down the road who had their loft (re) done throughout may (and still ongoing) were happy they paid for a tin roof.

  • We didn't have a tin roof. Listening to the tarps blowing in a storm while you try to sleep is horrid but doesn't last long. We had a couple of minor leaks and had to paint a ceiling.
