Hi folks,
I'm getting underway on my major damp repair (check out the blog here) and have got to the point when I need to start obtaining the refit materials.
The question I've got for you all is how do I fit out the roof? The old damp and rotten bits I'm removing seem to be a sandwich construction of wallboard/insulation(polystyrene)/ply with the ply against the outer roof skin. Do I need to keep this sandwich, or can I put the insulation directly against the outer skin?
On the rear and side walls it seems to be just a timber framework bonded to the outer skin, then infilled with insulation and all covered over with wallboard - which is all I was thinking of doing for the roof.
I also can't tell if the ply was bonded to the outer roof skin or not, although looking at the marks/rubbish I'm have to clean off I suspect the answer is yes.
As usual, all advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
