i have installed a windtight roof on a new built and as it stands the house has no wind blowing in through the joints in the felt or in the facsia and soffit because i have them sealed with a top of the range windtight felt.

the felt has a self adhesive strip at each joint making it windtight. i also completely sealed all wind at the soffit and fascia.

i have HRV and a heatpump

Aside from doing the windows and doors which i plan to seal up with airtight tape, is there a need to install airtight membrane across the ceiling upstairs (i.e) wallplate to wallplate

obviously if money wasnt an option it would be a good job but i am trying to decide if it is overkill with a windtight roof already done.

in reality what air/wind in going to come in through the plasterboard.
