Hi Sorry I didn’t see this reply! My husband has been up there, there is nothing on the other side of the stud wall, where the ducting goes, it’s bone dry. So it’s definitely a problem with the roof over the kitchen and not the ducting at all. We’ve since had a few more patches appear. they...

Hi yea it is. No, my husband went up into the utility void where the ducting is, that part of the roof is bone dry. We’ll look at some sealed spots and hopefully that will help.

The ducting goes through the utility roof void and out the soffit. We had the roof redone in the summer as the builder had done the tile lap at about 7.5cm, the new roofer redid it and added another 3 rows of tiles so I’d hope it wasn’t short again! Plus it only happens in cold weather not in rain.

Ok, so my husband has been into the roof void where the extractor fan ducting is, above the utility. It’s completely dry up there. And the stud wall goes all the way to the felt. So I don’t see how any heat from the extractor duct could pass into the kitchen roof. So it’s just condensation on...

You think the hot air is rising up through the gap in the spots? The rest of the ceiling is completely dry and we’ve got 8 spotlights.

So this is the ceiling this morning, even wetter than yesterday but again we’ve had no rain. There is another patch of water that has appeared which I’ve circled. Problem is the roofer said 2 weeks ago he’ll come back when he’s finished his job, but in the meantime our ceiling is getting wetter...

Sorry I’ve not been very clear. The wall is a stud wall. It’s in the kitchen. We had it put in the wall as there was no room above the ceiling for the ducting due to the sloped ceiling. Yes it’s a cold roof. Although I’ve just found another spot about 1 meter away so we must have some...

Hi, Well not 100% sure. But it dried out on Saturday and then was wet again yesterday and even more so today. But we’ve had no rain. The fan is on an internal wall, with the ducting going through the utility roof space (which has a flat ceiling room for the ducting in the roof space) and then...

Hi, Our extension has a low pitch roof, around 14 degrees. The roofer fitted a ventilation system at the top (under the flashing I think) and bottom to make sure we had good air flow. The past few weeks water marks have been appearing on the ceiling. It’s only when it goes cold, not after it’s...

Hi, I’ll try and get a photo tomorrow. No, the lights have only been up 2 years and it’s always been super temperamental. It’s only now it’s completely stopped.

Hi, We’ve had a 3 way dimmer switch put in our kitchen. 2 of the switches work fine, the other one which controls the spotlights works intermittently. The electrician who installed has changed the switch for a new one. But within a few weeks it won’t turn the spots on again. There is another...

If cleaning it would get rid of the cold spot and unbend my window I would.... I the condensation is probably around 2ft diameter.

So sorry I think I’ve got confused... he said the glass is 2mm thicker than normal. Sorry I though he said double so assumed 4mm glass.... But definitely 16mm gap. So 13mm bow is quite a lot? Not sure how thick normal glass is? Our windows are north facing so not really any sun since they’ve...

It’s 1800mm by 1830mm

Hi, I’ve been told the glass is 4mm thick and the spacer is 20mm. The person who sold and installed it has said this means the actual gap between panes is 16mm. I’ve actually measured the ‘bow’ on the outside pane... it’s bowed by 13mm in the middle. So surely this means the glass panes are 3mm...
