The more you seal up the draughts and holes the better,a foam gun is your friend,

for a roof be aware you need a minimum 50mm gap between the insulation and the sarking-(the timber that supports the tiles on top of the rafters). had to redo my daughters loft conversion roof after a crap builder put quilting hard up against the sarking.

What happened?
Just got two cottages to re roof and insulate at same time. Bedrooms have sloped ceilings.

Keep an air gap between roofing felt and insulation

the quilt insulation had to come out and was relaced with kingspan pushed up leaving a 50mm gap between it and the roofing felt/sarking.
