I have just got a quote for a new roof as the existing roof tiles are not longer made (Belgium made tiles made in 1928 and are of unusual design) I think they are called Contre. The roofing firm has quoted for a breathable under felt which does away with the need for venation I have heard of breathable felts on wood framed houses, but not used on roofs, I take it that building regulations cover this?
