Supra-Brett Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just been in loft and there is condensation all over the inner side of the felt in the loft. Its dripping all over the stuff stored in the loft and loft boards too. Im sure this is due to the temperature differential between inside the loft and outside. Is this correct? will more insulation help? is it a ventilation issue? I have vented soffits and about 6inches of insulation and loft boards if that helps.

Guest wantthatone Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 sounds like ventilation issues matey, you could try a dehumidifier to take the moisture out the air as a temporary measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 As above, check that the soffits haven't had the insulation pushed into them, blocking them from breathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 It sounds like your boiler could be pumping over, very hot water forced into the header tank causing steam. It is really is not cold enough for it to be anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
