I've copleted my own loft conversion. No steel beam needed as middle supporting walls.
Prblem::: after 3 months damp patch along back purloin appeared all along it.
Solutiion:::: Guy who put in windows for me thought it might be windows that but it wasn't so he thought maybe roof vents. He took two above purloin ( the big roof supporting beam?) out we waited it seemed to have stopped. About 12 to 9 months later on a frosty night there was a small leak and when I looked the dampp patches were back.
Roofer says tiles are fine.
I think I shouild take off piaster board and insulation and have a look at membrane or some kind of stoppage; roofer he "NO!" and I do not want to.
Poss solution Get roofer to look at mebrane underneath by lifting tiles.
I DO NOT KNOW WHat TO DO
Any ideas please? am At total loss especially as it seemed to go away and come back on a frosty night.
I can only think that the vapor barrier has been forgot or the insulation has blocked something
HAS ANYBODY HAD A SIMIIAR EXPERIENCE
Please let me know
THANKS
