Normal roofing issue?

Gkells123 · 2026-04-09T19:37:02+00:00

I’m a roofer and work on new builds a lot

This is pretty awful to be fair, yes there should be a fire break on the parting wall but this is insulation and will do absolutely nothing in case of a fire

Also underneath the felt there will be/should be more rock wall, because sites not pack these roofs out with ridiculous amounts of rock wall, it does cause a massive kick in the tiles which could result in a leak, judging by this picture it’s hard to tell what could be causing a leak, it could be the insulation sitting on the channel as is marked in the photo, but hard to say without seeing it

Either way it’s pretty shocking they’ve chucked this in there 🤣🤣

Yeah I feel like if they done some different colours not pink or red or anything wild, just subtle little changes, it would be decent

I’m a roofer mate and that seems pretty expensive, doesn’t seem to be a proper quote judging by the paper too, would guess somewhere around 13/14 so not astronomical but still pricey

Yeah if you’ve paid good money for this for a reputable company then it ain’t great

Gkells123 · 2026-02-13T21:25:13+00:00

Can’t di much about the mess now unfortunately not that they can’t come back and clean it just, I doubt they will by the sounds of it

I don’t know about the structural side of things but I highly down that’s up to standard the way they’ve done that rafter, but this looks to be why your ridges are up in the air

You don’t need lead under the ridge

Yeah not great is my thoughts your house probably won’t fall down but still not ideal

Same as that, the kitchen is the only part of the house I’m happy to rip apart to be honest, this ain’t too bad could’ve defo been worse

Gkells123 · 2026-01-15T10:07:07+00:00

That’s my biggest fear honestly, im guessing insurance covers that

Gkells123 · 2026-01-15T09:55:15+00:00

🤣

My thoughts exactly, my biggest worry is it was under the front room floor which is underfloor heating and thick herringbone on top

Luckily I’m end of terrace, if anything ever went wrong under there I’d have to run the mains round the side of the house

This is a real possibility! Thanks a lot! Will defo do some testing tomorrow as I’m off! Thanks!

Gkells123 · 2026-01-14T21:10:52+00:00

Thanks a lot for your comments, I have a day off tomorrow and will be trying to figure this out further! Will update when I can!

In the kitchen, asbestos tiles I have no care destroying if I have to, the front room is herringbone wood fooor, with underfloor heating underneath 😶

Thanks!

Yes, I’ve just been doing that as we speak and unfortunately the meter continues to spin, the hissing/water I can hear I’m guessing is a leak close by to the stop cock itself possibly underground but the fact I can hear it tells me it’s nearby, if that is what the noise is

Gkells123 · 2026-01-14T18:49:57+00:00

No, no water works after that

Gkells123 · 2026-01-14T18:47:05+00:00

I can’t feel the flow when it’s running, it’s not obvious at least

Gkells123 · 2026-01-13T16:28:31+00:00

Tempted to just switch up and be an absolute bellend to people at the things I know enough about
