Hi,

Last night I saw Rogue Traders about dodgy roofers. Which reminded me
that I had to start looking for someone to fix some torn felt in the
roof space and lay down thicker insulation.

Would anyone have an idea of how much approximately it would cost for
such a job to be done? My house is semi-detached with concrete slate
tiles, and as mentioned felt which is torn in several places.

Thanks for your advice. 

Regards
Mark

Does the roof leak?   
If not just tuck the felt back into place.

Is anything coming in through the holes in the felt?  If not, why worry 
about it?  As for insulation it's a job pretty much anyone can do with a 
bit of care - why pay someone else to do it?

Hi,

Ive been checking and there didnt seem to be rain coming through,
although I really need to do a more throrough check.

There's currently some old loose fill insulation up there, and wasnt
sure if it should be removed (i.e. hoovered up), or just lay some
insulation on top of it. I suppose I could get the DIY manual out to
see what's needed to do it :-)...

Regards
Mark

If you're serious about it, then why not put together a post to this NG 
detailing what you currently have and asking for advice about what you 
need and how you should go about fitting it.  That's what the group is 
here for :)

Mark,
are these tears 'V' shaped by any chance?
Perhaps where vents have been put in the roof?
Just a thought.
