Insulate pitched roof porch

Options
Hi

I want to insulate the potrch, its freezing now and I think there is no insulation at the top, is there a way to remove the pitch roof a little and insert insulation or would I have to take the white cardboard roof off that you see from inside the porch

    Expanding polystyrene foam in a huge aerosol can with a long nozzle?
    just make a few small holes in your "cardboard" (??) and press the button !


    it does tend to be very sticky / messy stuff, goes everywhere you don't want it to, but it will insulate ! Have fun :)

    Hi Thanks for your reply

    Is it not possible to remove the tiles just a few of them to slide some insulation wool inside?

    You need to come at it from the inside, really. It's less complicated and labour intensive.
