surya2089

I have seen one property loft and seen plastic sheet covering on top,I cannot remove because it’s been glued and ask vendor and they told me it’s there since they bought it.
Plastic sheet cover almost 60-70% of loft.

1) There's no felt or membrane, so the plastic could be there to catch leaks/drips of water coming through the tiles.

2) Ditto, but to stop so much dust/dirt falling on the contents stored in the loft.

3) It looks like it could be bubblewrap - it might have been put up in the mistaken belief it added thermal insulation to the roof.

Any one or a combination of the above.
