Thanks alot for posting your videos on you tube, i found this 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyNviteSOzY
very helpful.
I currently have a flat roof extention for my bathroom and kitchen, this is how i bought the house btw, but it has no insulation and it
leaks also..
My walls are cavity on the extension but they are not insulated, my question is, would i be better fixing the roof with a warm roof or
filling the walls with insulation??
Can you tell me if i can get away with fixing 1 or if i have to do both?

I really appreciate your time steve, im dad of 3 and everyone complains how cold the house is and im sick of huge gas bills i cant afford.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

Best Regards
ben..

ps im thinking of doing a warm roof myself but im not 100% sure how the due point works, sounds tricky and not something u want to get wrong :)

Hi ben if I had to chose between warm roof or cavity wall insulation it would be warm roof first because at the moment the roof is the real week point.

The video you have been watching tries to point out that the warm roof should be extended sown to the start of the cavity or solid wall  if you don’t do this and you then filled the cavity wall you will have a big area ware the heat could get out, you are trying to be continue with your insulation.
As regards vapour control the warm roof construction method is very forgiving, Ive seen flat  roofs without any vapour control membrane working without any problems. Give it a go and get back to me if you need any more help
