Many years ago when we had the solar panel put in they weren't the best or tidiest workmen. I don't know how they made the holes in the tiles for the retaining brackets, but they just tore through this papery stuff which was on the inside of the roof.
I did just put some card over the gaps a few years back (just gripping between the rafters) which were finds, but are falling out now. I had cause to invite SWMBO into the loft and she wants it done a bit more tidily, though we don't want to spend too much on it. And she thinks it's causing dust to come into the loft.
It's a 60s tiled roof and is generally in good shape. Where the holes are, it doesn't appear to leak as there are panels above it. And anyway any places we can see the sky are few and far between.
The loft already has a fair bit of insulation over the floor but I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the best way to cover the gaps, and whether there are any d-i-y products which might add to the insulation, if it's worth it. I am not prepared to spend a lot of time or money on it and will probably only do the central buts of the roof which I can easily reach.
I have had a bit of a scan round and I can see there is some blown foam but I guess that's a pro job.
Given this is more of an appearance job than anything, I'm thinking maybe just getting some hardboard and cutting it neatly then tacking it up somehow might be easiest. Any other thoughts?
