What would likely be the under-felt boarding to a 1970s (nearly) flat roof? Recycled floor boards? plywood? Stirling board? heaven-forbid chipboard?

possibly "Strammit" board: Compressed straw. Was specified for my 1966 garage and my 1972 extension.

I've replaced strammit off a 1968 garage, cut out the damaged sections with a chainsaw and replaced with 12mm ply plus a bit of packing under.

a lot of packing - the strammit board I used was 2" thick.

Before I replaced it with 18mm ply, mine was weetabix
Still available for Rod and his mates

Could be 1960s or 70s Thanks for that, I was just about to google "strammit" , looks like a half inch hole in the ceiling and a use for that silly Maplin "endoscope" miniature camera viewer thingy.

Pea grit probably deters birds and cats to a certain extent
