Hi, I have had an ongoing problem with my roof and loft. I have had about 5 roofers out all with different theories to my problem. I am getting reasonably bad damp on 3 of my walls upstairs. These are all outer walls and all by windows. At first we thought this was because of rain...

Hi folks. I am having horrendous problems with condensation in my loft after having cavity wall polystyrene bead fill installed. This is the 3rd winter in the house and prior to this year, no problems at all. Insulation was installed in July 2008. After much complaining by myself, the...

I am trying to figure this out for my friend next door. We both live in a 1920s 2 story brick built terrace house. We both have loft conversions and Velux windows. However she gets terrible condensation problems on hers, both below and above the purlin. It drips down off the window and down the...

Hi, Like many others I'm sure, I've gone into the loft to fetch the xmas decs and found condensation on the inside of one side of the roof. (We only moved in a year ago) It's only on one side, but it's the side the has the most heating (stairs on the other side) and I'm trying to determine...

There is a lot of condensation in the loft. It is a cold roof, with tiles on battens on membrane over rafters. Insulation in between and under rafters. Water condenses on the inside surface of the membrane. The membrane is Tyvek Supro and is 100% water proof. And costs a bomb. This happens on...

Hi all, I know this is a common problem and covered on many other threads but my question is really about drying. We have condensation all over our roof in the attic (more about below if people are interested). I have dessicant dehumidier - this basically sucks in moist air, takes the...

Hello All. I need advice regarding my loft, specifically insulation under and around the cold water tank. There is a bit of a story to explain everything that has been going on with my loft leading up to this and for that I apologise in advance if it is a bit long winded. Early last year it...

Hi all sorry for the long post but i will just give you a bit of background of my issue. We bought our current house 2 years ago noticed the roof suffered with very bad condensation over last winter. The previous owner had fully boarded the loft and also built a scenery around most of the loft...

Went into the loft tonight during the rain to check if my previous leak was fixed (broken tile and it appears good!) However I then noticed the rafters are wet where they touch the felt. Hasn't noticed before as I was too focused on the soaking wet purlin. See attached photos. Is this a leak...

I have recently insulated my loft, both floor and roof and then put P.V.C. claddi8ng over it. This is with a view to building my model railway up there. However the condensation up there is horrendous. Does anybody have any ideas as I am just about fed up with it

I need some advice on my loft space if anyone can help as I’m getting nowhere with my H/A and need to understand what I’m being told and what I’m talking about in response. We have a very small loft in a 1920’s built coastal house. Roof is sound, no leaks roof tiles not slate. The loft was...

Hi all, it's that time of year again and on enetering my loft the other day noticed that the condensation is getting worse. One side is literally dripping wet. I've had a builder over today and he had a look and hadn't seen anything like it before. He suggested a possibility of fixing Celotex...

Hi I recently moved house and have done a fair bit of work in it. The insulation within the loft was tiny so got rid of it and gave the loft a bit of a clean up. As the Joist are only 3" and at a later date I wanted to board the loft I put new 100mm loft insulation in so that I didn't squash...
