Hi I have read other posts but just wanted to double check. As you can see there is alot of condensation and it leaves the ceiling above the windows mouldy. There is no moisture rising up from the rooms below, there are two vents on the roof, water tank is covered etc. The only reason I can...

hi this condensation prob in loft, just riped the kingspan off i only got 30 mm air gap dont think this is enough ? shall i increase it to 70 mm and see how it goes ?

We moved into a bungalow about 15 months ago and have completely renovated everything, including new gas heating, bathroom, kitchen, windows and doors. The house tends to be damp, so that we can find mould on things in wardrobes or on the backs of kitchen cupboards. We try to combat this with...

I have a polycarbonate roof in an enclosed porch. Condensation occurs when the door to the house is opened and the warm moist air from the house condenses on the roof. I am considering fitting a plasterboard ceiling below the polycarbonate about 4 inches and filling the gap with fibreglass...

hi I have recently noticed a lot of water droplets in the loft mostly directly under the bathroom as well as mould near soffit vents when opening bathroom window. anyone know the cause of this ? can it be that the hot steam when showering having window open is traveling straight through...

So I got a new roof in November 2021, and there was condensation but I thought it’s winter the roof has just been off and so it will take a while to properly dry out. Fast forward winter 2022 with awful snow for a week and my upstairs ceilings were wet. I investigated condensation dripping...

My plastic water tank in the loft has a "padded" sleeve, plus a plastic top which I made myself. On some mornings, there is still a lot of condensation at the bottom of the tank, where it sits on the plywood platform. As far as i can see, the condensation has not run down the tank to the...

Hi Just wondering if someone can help. I had insulation and cavity wall put in two years ago and this year have had alot of condensation. I have called the company who carried out the work and they have said the condensation is nothing to do with the insulation but is due to three factors...

Noticed some white mould within my loft space and was wondering a few things: 1. Is this due to lack of ventilation, condensation, or both? 2. Within the pictures attached you can see felt only. I believe this is due to a window being removed (as there seems to be an old single pane window in...

Hi, I've read all the threads on condensation in lofts so I think I understand the reasons, causes, and the fixes, but just wanted to check that this is indeed condensation and nothing more sinister. The wood that has the water droplets on is the underside of a lead valley. I remember...

[ Note: I'm not really sure if this is a 'plumbing' problem or should go in the 'lofts' forum, so apologies if you think I'm in the wrong place. ] In my loft there is a 25-gallon round cold-water tank and a 40 gallon rectangular central-heating F&E tank, both at least 35 years old. I needed a...

I have recently noticed that I have considerable condensation on the inside of the roofing felt in the loft and it looks as if there has been a problem for some time as there is mould on some of the apex roof joists.Water is actually dripping down. There is roof vents in the eaves on both sides...

I've got some condensation issues in my loft. Its a double gabled roof which has relatively new roof on a 1850s house. I clearly need some ventilation up there, but where? I personally could fit a single vent in the roofs access hatch in the larger of the two gables, but I wonder if...

Hello Board! On the front bedroom window, there's been a bit of a drip for a while. It's actually coming through the top wooden portion of the window, like its leaking through the frame. It seems to appear there, leak all down inside the window, through the seal, back outside and down...

I'm getting condensation forming on the edges of my upstairs ceilings next to the outer walls. I had my loft insulation topped up last summer (for free,cos I'm "poor") and asked the lads that fitted the new insulation whether it would cure my condensation problem,but they just looked at me like...

So here’s an odd one. My 1980s bungalow has always had issues with condensation, looking at the water damage to the wooden window sills. When we moved in, I had mechanical ventilation installed in both bathrooms with humidistats, plus we use a decent dehumidifier in a closed utility room to...

Hi, I had a loft ladder installed this year. I currently have a problem with condensation in the attic. :roll: How can I go about stopping warm air passing through the loft ladder? Can you insulate behind it :?: cheers

Hi all, Nearing completion of my loft converstion and have noticed as it gets colder that there is a significant amount of condensation on the veluxs Its just been plastered so could I assume that some of the moisture is due to the plaster drying out ? Or does this indicate a problem with...

Is it permissible to caulk seal a bathroom fan to prevent condensation rising into the loft? Am assuming as the unit gets only warm this is allowed?

Hi all. Recently, I found out that my loft has interstitial condensation. Our first step was to remove the insulation on either side; one side is nearly done.It is insulated halfway up on both sides. The problem is that there is a noggin between each pair of rafters, situated just before the...
