    Why are you doing faffing about on an internet forum? I doubt the insurance will cover a badly maintained roof.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        1. I moved in June.
        2. I was not responsible for roof construction.
        3. Ordinary roof tiles, wooden frame.
        4. There is no roof felt. The snow is smaller than the gaps in the roof tiles and the snow got blown under the tiles.
        5. Good idea about the used envelopes, could be an improvement.

            No, no, no, no, nooooooooooooooooo!

            That way the tank will freeze tonight and overflow because the ball cock is frozen solid. And that might do serious damage to the ceiling.

            As you might guess, I've had problems with header tanks before

                Leave the loft hatch open and turn the heating up, should stop it from freezing?

                Downside being the rozzers will probably turn up expecting to find a cannabis haul when they spot the glow from their chopper copper infrared camera.

                    Methinks he's talking about the header tank for the hot water cylinder.

                    Hot water cylinders don't buckle under the weight of snow.

                    unless it's an avalanche I suppose
