[QUOTE="renewablejohn, post: 6455336, member: 1136"] So long as the final external look is identical to the original then you should not have a problem with additional felt and insulation. Problem arises when you take that character sagging roof off and realise its only the woodworm holes holding the timber together. Replacing with new oak timber with the joint style used of the original is very expensive and may be insisted on by the conservation officer. Personally I would have a roof structural survey done prior to even thinking of doing anything as it can get really expensive very quickly. The other thing to do is speak with English Heritage so you know where you stand on roof replacement options rather than being told by the conservation officer what they expect you to do. [/QUOTE]
