I bought a new build house just over 2 years ago. we went up into the loft yesterday the first time in ages and was horrified to find that there is loads of condensation to the point that the floor is soaking and the timber frame of the roof is soaking wet. We also have some mould growing. I contacted NHBC who just said this is normal and if we were really concerned to get a roofer out to check for ventilation. NHBC said that this type of problem is not covered by them.
Do you think that lack of ventilation could be causing this much condensation?? The loft hatch seems to close securely so I dont think there is hot air getting up into the loft. Also if it turns out that there are few or no vents does anyone have any idea roughly how much it would cost to fit them. I know some people have done it themselves however I really wouldn't know where to start. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
