Extension and kitchen roofs

Condensation drives some replacements in Kirkby in Ashfield. Older extension roofs were often built cold, with insulation between the joists and no reliable vapour control. Warm air from the kitchen reaches the cold deck, moisture builds up and the timber suffers. A warm roof deals with the cause, not just the stain.
