Hi.
I'm trying to create an extra storage using loftzone kit. Went up to the loft to take some measurements, and I've noticed quite a lot of condensation (see pic.). According to the informations I've got, the insulation and roof were fully done approx.5 years ago by council or council contractors. Insulation wasn't laid properly, it was just dropped on top of the ceiling all in the same direction in 1-4 layers. Moved all around and done it properly apart from the eaves. It looks like there's a plastic ventilation membrane all around at the ceiling/slope level. Felt above that plastic membrane is all wet, below dry. There's a little bit of polystyrene stuffed at the bottom of each eave (no soffits, gutter against the cladding), and some uninsulated gap.
My questions are:
Shouldn't that plastic vent? membrane go all the way to the bottom?
Can I insulate the top of the eaves (above the polystyrene and below the vent membrane)?
What are the best options for me to clear the condensation?
Any help, please. I need this done before boarding as it'll block the access. I've tried to take pictures to help, If those are no good can take more.
