It's odd but hopefully not uncommon. Tampering may have been the wrong choice of word. Basically doing something I've no experience in with something that's pretty fundamental to a house! Have you overcome your issue and if so, how? We have solar panels on our non condensation side too so...

Thank you, slightly unsure about playing around in the roofspace myself. Would something like this increase the airflow? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vents-Prevents-Condensation-Attic-Ventilation/dp/B00M97O5YY/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=vent+flaps+lift&qid=1609761223&sr=8-8 I'm just unsure about...

Update. Humidistat was reading 58% after 30 min in the loft and around 7.5c. Outside it's probably 1-3c. Turned the torch off and from one of the soffit vents I can see daylight so I know some fresh air is getting in.

Thanks. I've been back up today and little difference. Left the humidity meter but it's around 45%. The insulation isn't over the soffit with the air vents in it and no condensation that low down. A few drops on the insulation but nothing too bad. We do have a bathroom fan that vents through the...

Thanks. Yes the fan is connected to the light so starts up as you enter. It also has a 10-20 minute run after it's turned off. We have some loft insulation over part of the ducting before it rises to the outlet. The 'run' is very minimal, maybe a meter at best as the fan is next to the wall.

Sorry, really hard to get a good picture as it's so high up. Using a torch and phone camera.

I've just been in the loft to put something in there and while up, I noticed between two rafters light condensation, along with some across the ridge of the roof, between the rafters. No where else seemed affected. Other times I have been up there has been nothing, although this tends to be in...

Hi, We had a fan installed a year ago in our bathroom and noticed over the last few days, as it has got colder, that these kinds of marks are appearing on the outside wall. I'm assuming this is just the air condensing and running down the wall. Is this a problem apart from aesthetics? There is...

Hello, We've had a really annoying rattle above our bedroom window since we moved into our house. It hasn't been too bad over summer but with more wind, it's playing up. The video isn't great but essentially the noise is coming from a soffit air vent and it's like a metallic rattle. Initially...

Following on from this, my electrician and I (it was the plumber that installed it not the electrician, I know now it was wrong) were in the loft and we moved the flexi ducting and heard water come out through the fan. I've since gone back up and ensured the hose is on a gradual incline all the...

Yes, the CU was installed within the last few years and it does have RDC. Thanks for everyone's help. Put my mind at rest.

Thanks @JohnD and @JohnW2 Yes, we are in England. I’ve measured it this morning and it’s within 60cm of the shower tray but over 225cm off the ground. It is higher than the showerhead. Does this mean as it isn’t within Zone 2 it does not need to be notified? The ceiling height is 235 so minus...

I've had a fan installed in the shower room and the advised it was all ok and no need to contact the council. All bathrooms now need one so it's a standard thing (so I was told). An electrician came over and asked if we had a Part P for the fan. News to me as per the above... Having looked in...
