I know there are a lot of threads on here regarding loft condensation - I've already read many of them - but despite improving the ventilation I still encountered problems last winter. The property is a late 80s detached house. A few years back I replaced much of the original loft insulation...

Yes its that old wet chestnut, condensation in a loft. We moved into this 1960s bungalow in May this year. All well until we had a problem with condensation last month, specifically windows streaming with water, a smell of mildew in the bedrooms and newly hung wallpaper that wouldn't dry. So I...

Hi all End of terrace built in 1890. Since topping up my insulation, I have a significant build up of condensation on the breather membrane in my loft that I’m trying to fix through: - installing lap vents in between every rafter at the lowest point close to the eaves. - installing a...

In Jan. 2014 when I got into the loft, I noticed that the underside felt along the two valleys of my roof were wet (with droplets). At that point I thought it was rain driven underneath the valley through the mortar cracks by strong winds (we had some extreme weather last winter). Then I have...

Hi guys, we get condensation in our loft, we have boarded the floor out with t&g chipboard with 100mm loft insulation between the joists, the roof is felted i assume it is warm air hitting the cold roof in winter that caused the condensation, it isn't really bad but it does make items stored...

Since having cavity wall insulation installed, I now have a condensation problem in the loft. Never had it before. Nothing else has been changed. Is it likely the two are connected? If so, any ideas how to fix the problem. There is no additional ventilation fitted. Eves ventilation always been...

Hello all, i was in the attic of my new extension tonight and noticed there quite a lot of condensation on the roof felt. It's of the breathable variety but there are no vents to speak of as i thought they would not be needed. The question is it normal to get higher levels of condensation just...

I have been reading some previous posts on condensation in loft spaces but none of them cover my particular problem. The loft space has been converted,ie floor boarded out and ceiling and wall boarded and plastered. I have seen some insulation behind the plasterboard but not a lot,and there is...

Hi all and thankyou for advice in advance. I have removed some internal walls so I am overboarding and will skim. The bungalow is suffering with condensation in the loft space. I will put roof tile vents in at the ridge and soffet vents in when I renew but my question is... Is it worth putting...

I've a condensation problem in the loft. I need some vents and thought soffit vents fitted front and back for a good flow of air would be best, but I was wondering if there is an alternative? The soffits are about 10 metres high so I'd need a scaffold and that's an extra expense I don't need...

Hi there, I'm pretty sure I have a handle on the root cause of condensation in the loft (http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=160032) But one thing that I seem to get different answers on is loft insulation - I'm talking about fibre glass based normal loft insulation that isn't...

Hi, we live in a 30 year old detached house and a couple of years ago had upvc facias installed to avoid having to paint the old ones. The back of the house with one installer and the front with another installer a year later. The upvc was put on top of the old woodwork as it was in decent...

Hi I hope someone can help. We have what seems to be a common problem with condensation in our loft. We are due to have the felt replaced (currently the old bitumen felt being replaced with a breathable felt) as it is rotten. We had our central heating replaced earlier this year. Originally we...

I noticed we have moisture in one corner of the bedroom, then i remembered seeing a lot of condensation in the loft. My thought is that the loft insulation needs replacing anyway as it is thin and old. If i insulate the floor joists with the relevant amout of "stuff" and use a system like...
