Nope, I just assumed I was buying those small rolls like you get in B+Q and walk out with under your arm, so I ordered a dozen.
What turned up was a hiab truck with a pallet load, each one the size of a post box, and thats before they unpinged.

Make sure there's room for air to ventilate from the sofit boards otherwise you'll have condesation problems and it won't do the timber any good

Thats round the edges? Yes, I didn't push it right to the edge, you can still see down the gap - assume thats right

Yep, depending on where the vents are, so long as they're not covered over, then the loft space will get enough ventilation to prevent condensation

You can still see the white thingummy all around the outside edge, which I guess is the back side of the plastic facia, and down the gap, though I dont know how it is ventilated, guess there are vents in it, or do they just build it sloppy?

Looks ok, you should be able to see the vents from the outside, depending on what type they are.

But yours looks similar to mine and I don't have any obvious vent holes, although mine gets ventilated ok
