Many thanks for your reply. Do you think that they will solve my condensation problem? Also, do you have any thoughts on the vertical flue running through the loft, and the fact that it is warm to the touch? Thanks.

Hi Chris, Many thanks for your reply. I can't take any photo's at the moment but will do so and post them on here. However, I can tell you the model number of the boiler. It is a Baxi 105e. With regards to the condensation, would dry warm air condense when it hits a cold surface, such...

Hi There, I am currently experiencing problems with condensation in my loft. I have an upstairs combi boiler and the flue runs vertically through the loft space on vents out the top of the roof. When I feel the outside of the flue pipe it feels quite warm to the touch. I spoke to a roofer...

Hi There, I have just spoken to a a local roofing expert regarding a condensation problem I have in my loft. He suggests that I have 4 vent tiles fitted, 2 on each side of the roof, and says that the condensation will disappear within a day or two of fitting these. He says that the...

Hi Mathew, Many thanks for your reply and for clarifying things. By the sound of it I don't need to worry about heat from the boiler flue, provided that it isn't leaking which it doesn't appear to be. I have looked at where the boiler flue goes up through the ceiling into the loft, and...

Hi There, I have condensation in my loft in the form of beads of water on the underside of the bitumen roofing felt. I have a combi boiler located in the upsatirs airing cupboard which has a vertical flue which goes up through the loft space and vents out of the roof. I have noticed...

I forgot to mention in my previous post but it is a semi detached property and I have checked with my neighbour and they don't have any condensation problems in the loft. They don't have a vapour barrier across their celing either. They do, however, use a tumble drier and so don't have wet...

I have checked the there is a gap of around 2 inches between the eaves and loft insulation. I cannot see any daylight at the eaves so am wondering whether there is actually any ventilation at all. Would it be beneficial to install some soffit vents? I was thinking of the 70mm diamter type that...

Many thanks for your reply. I understand what you're saying regarding the lack of a vapour barrier, but it is a semi detached propery and my neighbour doesn't have any condensation problems in their loft. They don't have a vapour barrier across the upstairs ceilings either. The main thing...

Hi There, I have a condensation problem in the loft and it is more problematic this year, presumably due to the very cold weather at the moment. The condensation forms as beads of water on the underside of the roofing felt membrane. One of the main problems I suspect is the drying of...
