That’s what I was thinking. Even when it’s dry it feels cold to touch. I’ll just have to keep an eye on it but I think me opening the loft up all the time probably isn’t helping!

Thanks for the advice, I think I’ll give that a go. Since having the vents fitted and sealing/insulating the hatch the loft is freezing so I thought that meant we’d sorted out the temp but if warm air is still getting in then these sections must be the coldest spots in the loft? Thinking...

Yeah we’ve got plenty of insulation up there and the eves are all clear. I’ve got 6 tile vents and a few of those manthorpe lap vents. It’s pretty much all cleared the condensation we were having. Several beams were wet and the felt had droplets on. There’s just these same sections of beams that...

Hi, I posted this earlier today but I think it wasn’t in the correct forum. I’m trying to find out if we have a roof leak or if the issue is condensation. We have had issues with condensation in the loft space previously and had tile vents fitted and it seems to have cleared this up. The...

We had the loft hatch sealed when we had the vents fitted and there aren’t any pipes or down light holes in the loft. When we initially had the condensation issues it was all over the loft whereas now it’s just the 3 sections that seem to be damp at times. They’re all in different parts of the...

I’m trying to find out if we have a roof leak or if the issue is condensation. We have had issues with condensation in the loft space previously and had tile vents fitted and it seems to have cleared this up. The issue we’re still having is that a few sections of the roof beams are still...

Yeah I think you’re right. I’ve not noticed any issues so far and we’ve had some windy/rainy days.

Ah right. So if the laps are tight with the vents fitted it shouldn’t be an issue?

Thanks replying. That’s good they’ve worked for you. I’ll see how I get on with them. I don’t really understand how they could cause the tiles to lift up in the wind so I’m likely stressing over nothing.

Did you install these and have you had any issues with the tiles lifting or driving rain getting in? I’ve installed a few recently but we’ve had no wind or hardly any rain so haven’t had chance to see if they cause any issues.

Sorry to tag onto an existing post, but I wondered if there is any issues with the lap vents causing the tiles to lift up in the wind or driving rain getting in? The installation guides all seem to suggest that this is a possibility? Has anyone had this issue or are they simply covering their...
