We moved in this house about 2 months ago, we've been in the loft on various occasions and noticed no problems up there. However, been up there this morning (to bring xmas presents down) and there is water dripping off the inside of the roof down one side (thankfully not onto presents) I...

Condensation analysis

In my house, one of the bedrooms has suffered from condensation on the ceiling from the loft space above. Apparently, in the loft the previous owner put old doors across the joist (to board out loft) which skimmed the top of the insulation....in winter, condensation formed on the underside of...

I have found Amber spheres attached to my loft rafters. Over the winter there was some mild condensation on the loft felt. Could these spheres be caused by the condensation?

Hi All. Just looking for reassurance! Thought I'd nip in the loft and check all pipe work's lagged ok - given extreme weather! Noticed I have water condensating in droplets on underside of roofing felt and occasionally dripping down! I'm in the south and we've had NO snow here - so not...

Hi all, Im new to here and here with my first post. Ok, so im converting my loft space into a small bedroom. My rafters are 70mm and the roof felt is unbreathable. I bought 50mm kingspan and put them between the rafters but now I have alot condensation between them. Which is the best way...

During the summer months last year i had my loft insulation topped up from 30mm to 330mm. At the beginning of this month (when putting the Christmas tree back) I noticed condensation on the felt in the loft (which i haven't seen in the loft before) so I decided to purchase a dehumidifier to...

Hi all Last weekend (Sunday) we had a frost. Wnet in the loft that morning and found the tiling underfelt (early 70's house, so bitumen based and not breathable) wet with small drops of moisture on the underfelt across the north facing slope of the roof - the coldest surface. This is a...

Hi there, I've recently been suffering with condensation problems on the outside wall of a bedroom. It's an old house, so has solid walls and the occupants insist on breathing inside. I'm looking at ways to improve ventilation. The loft above has insulation directly above the ceiling...

Hi. This last few months we've noticed a musty smell in the loft and pretty much all of the roof membrane (if that's what you call it) has little condensation drops on it. Not sure what is causing this as it's never happened for the previous 9 years but I will be double checking extractor...

I would like to nail insulation horizontally across the sloping roof joists in the loft together with a vapour barrier. There will be a free space between the joists and under the insulation for outside air to circulate.This is instead of placing insulation on the loft floor as this is used for...

Hi Hopefully some advise can be offered on following problem. Terraced house low pitched tiled roof currently insulated between joists (No loft) - plasterboard internal ceilings (approx distance from external to internal 150mm) I have placed several vented tiles to External tiled roof...

The other day I happened to go into the loft, and noticed a small amount of condensation on the underside of the roofing felt. The space between the rafters is insulated, and judging by the dry moisture tracks on the underside of this insulation this is not a new problem. There's no sign of any...

Hi, I guess a relatively typical issue - I was installing the glass wool insulation in the loft and after having done the 1st layer (between the joists) there's now a lot of condensation on the roof roughly above the bathroom (I don't think I've seen that much before - see picture). What's my...

Ok. I've read all the good advice on here already, but my situation is slightly different. I have condensation in the loft, I've had it for 2 years now. At first we called in the original builder who first said we shouldn't be storing anything in the loft then cut the inside with a knife...

Hi . I've been fighting with the condensation for some time now . It is just dripping from the felt underneath the roof tiles . Drilled some holes and installed vents ( one every 60-70cm on both sides of the house - those bright points on the photos :) put some plastic between felt vents ...

Dear DIYNOT folks A few years ago I bought a 1980's flat with a loft. The bathroom extractor fan was broken so I got a man round. The fan feeds into a vertical pipe that goes thru the loft and exits thru the roof. The man said the fan was broken due to rust from condensation coming down the...

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...
