Condensation in a Flat Roof
This customer in Ealing had a new flat roof and thought all his problems were over until he removed some of the pasteboard from the ceiling and saw this condensation on the underside of the new roof decking.
Thermal Bridging of an Insulated Flat Roof Through the Front Fascia
I have watched a few of your videos in regards to flat ‘warm roofs’ on YouTube and have found them to be of great guidance with my current new build extension. Accordingly, I would be most grateful if you would answer a couple of questions that I have regarding your video posted on YouTube entitled ‘Thermal Bridging of a insulated flat roof through the front fascia’.
Roof Insulation Between Joists
Last year we bought a barn that was converted in the 1980’s. It already has foil-backed insulation in the roof but only 35mm and we would like to increase this – without taking the roof off, as it’s simply too expensive.
Question About Insulating a Loft Room
I’m looking to give this flat some warmth as it freezing in winter and a green house in summer. I also would like to put two skylight windows on the roof to release the heat in the summer, as well as replacing the windows front and back with something that slides or fold inside to release the heat.
Building Control Approves 2″ of Celotex Insulation on Flat Roof
I’m a keen diy enthusiast building a single storey one room (lounge) extension. I am going to have a rubber membrane flat roof and have been doing some research online. Your videos crop up in the search results frequently. I must say – thanks for the information, it’s great that people like yourself aren’t afraid to pass on your knowledge.
Warm Roof & Cold Roof Venting
I had the conversion done 20 years ago. The flat roof has a very shallow slope and consists of joists, surmounted by furring pieces, transverse spacing battens for ventilation, ply deck with mushroom ventilators, and multiple felt layers. It is also penetrated by a soil pipe near the condensing boiler vent. The ply deck appears to be in sound condition but blackened, presumably by condensation.
New Mineral Felt Roof Ealing
We have a small flat roof at our property in Ealing the bedroom below it was absolutely freezing this winter – we only moved in recently. The roof itself is in good condition and has recently been recovered. What would be the best option for us to insulate this roof?
Enquiry Regarding Old Mineral Felt Roof
I have converted the garage into a games room and the ceiling has damp patches and the fuse has blown for the lighting. The roof has a drainage hole in one corner which is not very effective , as I have previously seen water pooling on top of the roof. I would also like better insulation in the roof as there is a lot of heat loss and wind that comes through the ceiling light fittings.
Thermal Bridging From Screws on a Flat Roof
I want to put a second layer of ply sheet on top of the insulation board, I can screw that down around the edges, but want to put a line of fixings down the middle, but this would mean going through the board until I get to the ply underneath.
