This winter I've got condensation on the loft roofing felt all over. We've been in this house for about 18 months and this wasn't a problem last year. The only change I've done is to install a gas fired condensing combi boiler and removed the old solid fuel boiler. I've also removed all of the...

We had cavity wall insulation fitted this summer. Noticed that there is condensation on the underside of the (partially) boarded loft floor, this has never occurred previously. Is there a connection or should I be looking for another cause?

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, my appologies if not. Went up into my loft yesterday because we seem to have a mouse scratching around up there, and found that there was condensation on the inside of the roofing felt. Is this normal. The condensation was along...

We moved into a new house just over a year ago and have ALWAYS had an issue with condensation in our loft. I have called the builder (George Wimpey) about 10 times, but have now been told that condensation in the loft is normal and there is nothing more they can do. So far, they have removed the...

I've been up in the loft today for the first time for a while and I was somewhat surprised to see water dripping at various points from the roof lining. Some of the rafters are quite wet where they touch the lining. I can only assume that this is condensation (I can't believe the roof is...

Each year my loft gets condensation on the north facing roof. I've tried the usual ventilation fixes and sealing gaps in the loft access etc). This seems to work to an extent but the issue still persists on very cold days (not happened yet this year, but I expect it will). I also have an...
