Hi All,
Just a quickie...
Daughter moved into a New Build April of this year...It's only a 2-Bed End Terrace type Property, but very cosy..
Since she has No Garage & very little storage, I recommended her to have Part of the Loft Boarded for some "extra" Storage, we have it on a 30-Year Old New Build & have never had any issues....
So with the Bad Storms we have had lately, she mentioned that some Damp is coming through in the Bedroom & some Growth behind the Bedside Tables, When we checked the Loft, It was very Damp & Full of Moisture...
Crux of the Matter is we Contacted Persimmon, the House Builder & they are coming out to investigate on the 14th, we told them of the boards & they have already said that if the boards are the issue, then they will wash their hands of any liability, only Part of the Loft has been boarded & the boarding is on Stilts so nothing is really "enclosed"....
What are people's thought's?? If Persimmon blame the boards, as I'm 100% sure they will, I can remove them myself & see if it "cures" the Problem, if it is still there & clearly an issue, what next?? Do I try & get someone to fit some extraction/ventilation Fans in the Loft to aid in Air Circulation?? Would an Independent Inspection be worthwhile & if so, how do I go about getting one organised...
I've attached some Photos & There is a link to a small Video File below....

Thanks in Advance for any replies......
