My garage is drafty, it has concrete roof panels with a fairly common 5" corrugated profile. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any eaves filler foam strips for it, does anyone know of any that I've not found or will I end up having to mask off and use expandy foam?

My parents have a garage from that lot and it comes with foam inserts for the gaps, if you contact your local supplier they may sell you some?

Cheers, I'll poke a phone call at them and see what they have! I can find 3" and 1.5" fillers everywhere but 5 seems to be a bit unusual.

Can't you just stuff it with bog standard loft insulation??

I've used M C S Roofing & Cladding before, they're based in Leek if thats any good

Loft insulation would blow right out, it needs to be bonded in place. I'm hoping to reduce the damp problem the garage (and my bikes) suffer from lol. Leek is a bit of a way from me, I'll check out if they're online.

Surely sealing up a pretty good method of air circulation is only going to increase the damp issue??

That's the way the damp gets in, it's fairly well sealed elsewhere. Open to suggestions though.
