Hello all
I purchased my property new in August 2006. It's a 3 storey semi-detached town house. It was rented for the first few years, then I moved in Apr 2011.
I recently had a builder fit extra insulation to the small loft, and he pointed out some very disturbing news.
The pitch roof has little or no 'Kingspan' type insulation over the entire roof.
Also, the waterproof membrane has been fitted 'upside down' so if the roof tiles ever loose water proof seal, water will run into the house not over the top.
I've contacted NHBC who tried to fob me off, but I have managed to get them to agree to a site visit.
I would really appreciate any advice on what I should do or say to try to get these problems rectified.
TIA
Don
