Having to revisit it a few times to make it fit. Having it bulge and snap on a hidden nail. You sir, have just got yourself another subscriber by being honest and showing a real-world piece of (good) work, rather than what most show - a lot of ‘everything goes perfect first time’ stuff that makes newbies feel disheartened when reality strikes. Well done my friend, great video. Rob.

Would this type of work normally be done by a carpenter or is there specialist builders for it?

Did you add a vapour barrier or did the foil on the insulation act as the vapour barrier?

I don't think it necessary for a vapour barrier in this situation.

Is that a bay window upstairs?

Do you need to leave a gap for airflow between the board and exterior tiles

No. There is plenty of gaps between the roofing slates. Even if driving rain got behind the slates any wet would soon dry out.

No mask or goggles while you're cutting and sanding the PIR? 😮

Yeah, I know I should wear all the right PPE. I can't be bothered most of the time. In this case, I didn't even think about using a mask, goggles, gloves etc. I don't think the dust from PIR will be a problem really.
