We went to open up Katy for the year and had a really nasty shock
The roof was black with mould all around the skylight I fitted last year :-(
After some rapid removal of the mould we were left with the view below. The insulation was sopping wet so all around the skylight it I took it out as well
Something to note was that there were 2 ceilings, the original Ambulance ceiling which can be seen on the left below, covered in grab adhesive, and the "tidy" roof as you can see from the section that is still up
After a lot of hard work including an awful lot of sealant and filler to block every possible space it now looks like this. We are trying to decide whether to varnish it and leave it wood colour or whether to paint it white
It's been a learning - when drilling holes don't apply twice as much sealant as you think you need, apply four times as much

Up above the original ceiling I found the original air vent. I don't know why that space wasn't used
