Ian Dome Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 just spoke to an insulation firm that also does roof replacements.. he says the foam they use is fully breatheable? so that should help no? i'm so confused.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 botching over something is never as good as doing the job properly, plus it usually makes sorting the job out properly a complete nightmare afterwards Make sure you have a like for like replacement for your roof. eg, terrace houses built with slate roofs can splay if they're over loaded with new concrete tiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 botching over something is never as good as doing the job properly, plus it usually makes sorting the job out properly a complete nightmare afterwards Make sure you have a like for like replacement for your roof. eg, terrace houses built with slate roofs can splay if they're over loaded with new concrete tiles That's about the long and short of it. They come along and spray a load of goop onto the tiles. It doesn't alter the fact that the tiles are cracked or simply worn out. It probably cracks a load more in the process.Then in 12 months you need to replace a tile and can't. That's when the problems start. You now find you need to replace all the tiles just like you should have done, but the goop means you have to rip just about everything else out as well.
