slates look very old and fragile#
exect some to break if they come back and do it as suggested
maybe thats why they did it that way to save you the expense
who knows how far back they would have to go once they start removing slates ?
couldd maybe end pu with a complete reslate
there are cerainly adhesives that could be used under the lead ,once you clean the slates that would work
what cleaning products and soap powders are ok with a treament plant
so as not to kill the bacteria
anybody that has used for for some time
--what are you using ?
you only show one baton
far better to use cross batons ,then there is no ledge for moisture or crap to build up on over the years
single batons with osb sheeting caused my house to rot as all winter the dust etc were damp ,,so 25 years on i had a problem on the north side of the roof
the extra cost of double batons is very small and also gives you a bigger gap
or below them
change the Pb for insulated PB and loose maybe 35mm in head room,and you got a warm roof as it already has insulation above and only rafters are not insulated,but to be fair wood is a pretty good insulator
It is not really a cold roof
that is where all the occupied space is insulated from all of the loft and roof --eg flat ceilings
I am guessing as it has pB then it is occupieed below the insulated roof section
I would call that a wram roof
so back to your question
I do not see any need to slit it
as there will always be low pressure on one side of the house due to winds ,heating of roof etc etc
so it should cause enough of a draft to pull from one side to the other,just make sure there are no cold bits where the eaves meets the walls
I may be being thick
but why would you have ,as you say a gap
if you have filled space between rafters with insulation ,the osb can be hard aghianst it both sides
the eaves gap is to vent the cavity walls to exterior ?
I am confused
is this a cold or a warm roof system
a drawing please
so basically a warm roof as if it was sips panels
so there should be little or no moisture inside it
and making holes wil surely induce a warm flow of air where moisture can condense from heat inside house
If i understand you correctly ?
like it has vaulted ceilings as in a room like a loft which is heated from house?
If you make new stud walls just wrap the membrane around edges of panels before you fit them -then you have a complete seal ,by the time they are screwed together
