Recommended Posts

I have boarded only small part of the roof(can see attached snapshots) however have not screwed the boards yet and it is low pitch room, also planning to do loft hatch

 

However builder is yet to do ceiling, insulation and plastering. Will there be any issue with condensation for new plaster due to this boards or will it cause any distrubtion to builders work

 

Note: There are only 4 chipboards just took pictures of chipboards from different angles(3 chipboards (1 meter*0.5meter) and 1 chipboard(0.5 meter*0.5 meter)

The space is so small you will not be able to move around.  You need some ventilation up there but it is not obvious how to do this.  Is this going to be habitable space?

The plan is to primarily board a bit to area to get access to soil pipe and extractor fan incase those breaks down. No, there is no habitation there
