Hello
i live in a 50-60s bungalow and i'm having a problem with condensation forming on the bit of ceiling near the front door.
Above the front door is, what appears to be, a solid concrete slab which is parallel to the front door and at 45 degrees to the joining walls, which is flat above, ie not part of the ordinary pitched roof, which makes it impossible to insulate?
i have sealed up around the front door to make sure there are no cold draughts and have also applied several layers of bitumen paint to the top of the concrete block, in case water seeping through was the issue.
Having the heating on eventually gets rid of it, but it comes back so easily that if the heating is off for more than a couple of hours it starts to get wet again.
has anyone got any ideas of what i can do, all i can think of is to install a pitched roof over the flat to allow me to insulate it ?!
