condensation

Hi all I’m planning on turning the garage into a workshop and have noticed this winter (we only moved in last year) that the corrugated metal roof seems to gather a lot of condensation. It drips down, not torrentially, but I’d want to sort it out before I get the electricity put in obviously...

Hi there, grateful for any advice. Live in a top floor flat where the bathroom extractor is mounted in the ceiling, with a flue pipe extending vertically about 0.75m, topped with a mushroom clowl. The extractor runs when bathroom lights are on, and on timer after the bathroom lights are...

I’ve lived in my property for years and due to financial difficulties I haven’t managed to sought a carpet for my doorway/stairs! I know have carpet and laminate which I’m slowly working on fitting but my concern is; My front door leaves wet patches especially when the weather is really bad...

Hi. This last few months we've noticed a musty smell in the loft and pretty much all of the roof membrane (if that's what you call it) has little condensation drops on it. Not sure what is causing this as it's never happened for the previous 9 years but I will be double checking extractor...

Hello All. I need advice regarding my loft, specifically insulation under and around the cold water tank. There is a bit of a story to explain everything that has been going on with my loft leading up to this and for that I apologise in advance if it is a bit long winded. Early last year it...

Hi all I hope I am posting this in the right place! I have a small L shaped bathroom (ground floor) in a old building that has no wall cavity. I've had a damp inspection (two actually) which both concluded that the damp I'm getting around the toilet and on the wall next to it is not from the...

Hi all, Recently I have noticed condensation falling back down through the extractor fan in my ensuite bathroom so went into the loft space to check it out. I noticed the ducting was not insulated which I know I need to sort out from reading other forums on here but also noticed there appears...

Hi, I've got really bad condensation Al over my loft on the timber and felt. I've noticed there's some type of silver insulation stuffed in to the eaves, looks a bit like silver bubble wrap.. Won't this be blocking the soffit ventilation? Here's a video: Appreciate any advice, hoping to...

Hi, This is a small flat roof that joins to the house and main pitched roof. Some background info: It has never had any insulation between rafters and doesn't have insulation on top. Timber roof joists/rafters with timber furring. Then plywood and then torch on felt. We discovered the...

Hello, A few days ago I noticed what appears to be a leak in the bottom left of my velux window - see pic. It appears to be a damp patch, it’s slightly noticeable that it’s damp to the touch but it’s not wet wet. It seems to be mainly surface as it dried very quickly. We did have a lot of rain...

Hi all, I’m after some advice on a condensation issue I’ve got in my recently built shed. I’ve read various forum posts but can’t seem to find a solution to my problem. The floor is 25mm ply timber suspended. Standard stud walls with feather edge cladding and no internal sheathing yet...

Hi - this is my first post here and I was hoping someone could advise. I have recently moved into a 3 bed semi detached dating from the 1930's, the house is slated in good quality Welsh slates but had no 'breathable' membrane. We have just had the slates removed, a membrane fitted...

Hi Guys So I had my shed/garage roof replaced 3 months ago. The guys who did it were to put bluntly, cowboys, who mugged me off and did a half hearted job and are now nowhere to be seen. i have tried to chase them up, but no luck. messages ignored and numbers changed i presume. Anyway, i'm...

Hi I'd be really grateful for help/advice - I'm panicking a bit! As a bit of background.... I am looking to replace the current loft insulation (fibreglass/rockwool), laid on the loft floor. This has been prompted by a potential problem of condensation on internal walls/ceilings; in our second...

Hello All, I've gone round and round in circles on this and would appreciate some input please.... Last autumn a workshop was built at the back of my garden, it was built on a concrete slab and constructed of med-density concrete blocks (single skin) with a OSB roof covered EPDM. Last winter...

We have a 1.4 metre void under our suspended wood floor. The oversite below is always damp and on one side of the property there is signs of water that has percolated in at footing level and run to the back of the house. I have cleaned out all the builders muck and found that the damp has not...

Has anyone got any ideas on how I could make a cover for stone door cill (internally). It's an old 9" brick house, and the cill is constantly covered in condensation in the winter months. I've got a large piece of DPM over it currently, but it's unsightly. I need to make a kind of step, which...

I have a stone step that the front door sits on. Since it has got cold there now loads of moisture coming through it (assuming condensation). Is it possible to replace this slab to prevent this or is there anything that can be done to prevent this water coming through?

Hi . I've been fighting with the condensation for some time now . It is just dripping from the felt underneath the roof tiles . Drilled some holes and installed vents ( one every 60-70cm on both sides of the house - those bright points on the photos :) put some plastic between felt vents ...
