The lining along the ridge of the roof feels wet in places and for about 25 cm along 1or 2 of the beams. 1small wet patch on floor. Must I refelt of whole roof?

Hi it sounds like the roof has the old 1f bitumin felt and you have insulated the loft floor causing condensation to underside of felt,the options are remove tiles and renew felt with breathable and renew battens then replace tiles Or fit 6 or more roof vent tiles Both will require scaffolding Difficult choice But one that's being made in every corner of this country at this time Best of luck
