Condensation issue in loft

Posted by susie mitchell, on Tue 14 Jan 2014 01:33pm

Who do i need to contact a roofer or builder? I think we are lacking ventilation. It may be that the eves are blocked or we need a ventilation tile.

A roofer will be best suited. Ventilation tiles or soffit vents usually dose the trick.

One of my customers had same problem I installed some disc vents and a dehumidifier and pulled the loft insulation back and 4 days later all sorted

Hi Susie, You would be best speaking to a roofer. I would assay you are on the right track with ventilation it is more than likely new loft insulation is what is causing your problem. It is a relatively easy fix at around £60.00 per tile. However it would also depend on access to your roof. Regards Andy Thornton

Hi there Susie, I would contact a roofer for this issue. It could be a simple issue of fitting a few vent tiles to the property, depending on the condition of the felt. If the felt has deteriorated i would advise re felting and battening the roof.
