Been in our new house for 4 weeks now. Couple weeks ago I went into loft to fix the TV aerial. I found lots of condensation on the roof felt. Went up again week ago and noticed it wasn't as bad. I thinking or rather hoping it is because of the warm air circulating since we moved in as the...

I have just had my 1920's detached house roof re-tiled with large format clay interlocking tiles - Marley Domino. with the installation I have had Tyvek felt installed my problem is that I have lots of condensation forming on the inside of the roof. The technical guy from Tyvek came out...

Ive recently noticed over the last few week that upstairs on the ceiling edges of the weather facing walls ( we live in a semi ) there are small black spots starting to appear. ( got to be damp ) We moved in last summer so obviously nothing was showing...So i went up into the attic and...

I intend to board my loft floor on 7” loft legs after adding glass fibre insulation over the joists. There are no condensation issues at present and I will continue to monitor this. The ceiling below is plasterboard from the 1950s and there is no vapour barrier. My question is, as I cannot...

I have a problem with condensation in my 1950's house. The ceilings upstairs have a slope bit down onto the wall and the damp is happening in this area as it is not insulated I guess. What is best way to get insulation down into this part of the loft? What else could be making the...

I've had the latest roof for 4 years and when I'm in my loft looking upwards, I can see water droplets and small water runs which appear to be on top/outside of the breathable roofing felt rather than on the loft side. Is that normal? There's no ventilation up there and in winter I've...

not sure if I'm posting in the right place here ... Our loft is starting to smell like a sewer. I think this is the culprit. There are stains on the flooring and on the insulation. Also in winter this year, a lot of condensation was forming on the roof membrane and constantly dripping to the...

So there is lots of condensation in the loft. I can see droplets on the underside of the roof. The roof is constructed of slate with felt underneath (circa 1920). The loft hatch is insulated. The floor of the loft has wool insulation and the middle portion is boarded. So I assume the...

I went into the loft yesterday and found sight condensation on small patches of felt at the top of the eaves. I have been reading about the importance of good ventilation but as I only have a slight problem I wonder if the comment below from another forum member is a waste of time or could it...

Hi, I have a four bed detached house and had a new roof fitted a couple of years ago. The loft is quite shallow in terms of height. Since the roof has been fitted I have topped up a quarter of the insulation and also have additional people living the house now. During the recent snow\cold...

Hi All, I thought all condensate water drained by gravity. My brother suffered a drain freeze last week and was advised by the guy who sorted it for him that it froze because his plastic drain pipe is routed up from the boiler (in airing cupboard) into the loft and across the joists to an...

Hello chaps, Wondered where you run the condense pipe from a combi if its fitted in a loft? Do you just run it as an overflow ? If so does it drip much. Cheers. Col.

Hello, I have an Atag E32C in the loft. The condensate is routed outside to the soil stack and has frozen up the previous 2 winters. Since then the bathroom is being re-done and this would allow the condensate to be re-routed internally into a waste pipe within the bathroom. The...

Hi, I have some CONDENSATION in my loft and MOULD on the RAFTERS. Searched and read lots of threads. I have a plan, want to know what you guys think: The mould looks just like this (linking to a photo from another post): http://media.diynot.com/199000_198740_55290_87571615_thumb.jpg...

Condensation on felt support trays? Is this normal in winter? Been up into the loft to put the last of the Christmas decorationsr pack up and noticed on the south side of the house there seems to be a misting of condensation on the felt support trays? The insulation up there isn’t the best...

We have a lot of drips of water in the attic on the felt underside of the roof, but we have noticed it become damp in the loft since the summer ended. It is a 50's semi, has a vent brick and new insulation has a gap of a foot or so at the either side in the eves. How do we stop this...

Please help. I am a complete novice but have recently put down insulation in my attic floor. I have now realised that i have water dripping from the attic roof. There appears to be a flow of air still coming in but is there anything else that maybe causing this condensation. Tips would be really...

read with interest the condensation threads/stickys i had seen (in a recent cold night) a lot of moisture dripping from the felt in the loft (like others noticed it when got the xmas decorations down). not a huge surprise as the house gets a lot of window condensation in the winter...

Hi there, We recently moved into 20 year old house and couple of weeks ago i went into the loft and there was a lot of condensation. I got three roofers to come and have a look and all of them identified the problem being no or very little ventilation. They suggested to have four roof vent...

Hi all, first post here and I can't find any other threads so apologies if this has been done to death. I want to put celotex in our loft to replace a very thin ancient layer of rockwool. Then I want to put chipboard boards over the central part, leaving the edges (where I won't be walking)...
