condensation

Hi - this is my first post here and I was hoping someone could advise. I have recently moved into a 3 bed semi detached dating from the 1930's, the house is slated in good quality Welsh slates but had no 'breathable' membrane. We have just had the slates removed, a membrane fitted...

Hi Guys So I had my shed/garage roof replaced 3 months ago. The guys who did it were to put bluntly, cowboys, who mugged me off and did a half hearted job and are now nowhere to be seen. i have tried to chase them up, but no luck. messages ignored and numbers changed i presume. Anyway, i'm...

Hi I'd be really grateful for help/advice - I'm panicking a bit! As a bit of background.... I am looking to replace the current loft insulation (fibreglass/rockwool), laid on the loft floor. This has been prompted by a potential problem of condensation on internal walls/ceilings; in our second...

Hello All, I've gone round and round in circles on this and would appreciate some input please.... Last autumn a workshop was built at the back of my garden, it was built on a concrete slab and constructed of med-density concrete blocks (single skin) with a OSB roof covered EPDM. Last winter...

We have a 1.4 metre void under our suspended wood floor. The oversite below is always damp and on one side of the property there is signs of water that has percolated in at footing level and run to the back of the house. I have cleaned out all the builders muck and found that the damp has not...

Has anyone got any ideas on how I could make a cover for stone door cill (internally). It's an old 9" brick house, and the cill is constantly covered in condensation in the winter months. I've got a large piece of DPM over it currently, but it's unsightly. I need to make a kind of step, which...

I have a stone step that the front door sits on. Since it has got cold there now loads of moisture coming through it (assuming condensation). Is it possible to replace this slab to prevent this or is there anything that can be done to prevent this water coming through?

Hi . I've been fighting with the condensation for some time now . It is just dripping from the felt underneath the roof tiles . Drilled some holes and installed vents ( one every 60-70cm on both sides of the house - those bright points on the photos :) put some plastic between felt vents ...

Hi all, We had some windows and doors fitted 6 months ago and have condensation ever since when there is a cold night. The walls were built during the hot summer we had last year so we don't believe there is any moisture in the bricks etc that need settling. The manufacturers have been very...

I have a bit of a damp problem with a house we have purchased and was wondering if someone could offer some advice. The wall to the front of the house shows very minimal condensation marks right at the very bottom of the paper and the rest feels fairly dry. The front lounge also seems dry...

I have noticed some condensation in my loft space. Its the far end by the outside wall. It seems to only affect one side of the loft. The roof looks in reasonable condition. My best guess is it is not leaking. There is an old chimney on that side which was capped off inside the loft space...

Hey all, hoping someone can help advise me on this. I rent an old terraced property that is in disrepair. When I first signed the lease it I naïvely thought I'd caught a lucky break of sorts, which obviously turned out too good to be true. I knew there were issues, but not to the extent that...

So I posted this question on this forum a few months ago but it still has not been fixed. There’s been a sound coming from my boiler which is apparently not fixable. I have been told by a plumber that it is due to condensation from the cold weather? sounds like bs, but is it correct? I’m not...

hello we have a musty smell behind dish washer when its raining. its a 70s semi (ex council ) stone walls no insulation . new kitchen put in by past owner a few years ago what is the best course of action? we did bring a damp guy a we had a wet wall in the hallway and he diagnosed condensation...

We have a steel-framed, lean-to extension with a Metrotile (lightweight steel framed) roof. The extension is about 3 years old. There is a damp patch above our UPVC patio doors in the extension. It's been gradually building over months and months, no obvious drip/leak as such. I've had a...

I have a 5 meter by 2.5 meter concrete plinth in the garden, it has a polythene membrane beneath the concrete. On one half of this is a kit built summerhouse constructed from 28mm t&g with a 19mm t&g floor. Attached to this on the other half of the plinth is a lean-to shed constructed from 19mm...

Hi My small porch is getting badly condensated. I was curious to know why and noticed that the soffits had no air vents. I removed the soffits to see what the insulation was like and found very thin insulation sheets (about 50-100mm thick), but also noticed that the insulation is on top of a...

I have a small kitchen (2.0m x 3.9m) with a low (2.1m) ceiling. I am going to have a new kitchen fitted and plan to do a lot of the prep work myself. The current ceiling is plasterboard and is badly marked and as I want the spot light in new positions I need to replace it. I wondered if there...

As the title, we have moved to a house, like the wood frames. The double glazed units seem ok (1 or 2 need replacing), if a little thin compared to modern ones. We are getting lots and lots of condensation, pools of it on the windows. (See the photos) Would you put Trickle vents in? If so is...

On fitting a new rad in the hall for my daughter I found that the floor joists had gone rotten so I started to replace but noticed that the floor of the void which was covered in mud was quite damp. The void is about 4' to 5' deep at that point which is considerably lower than the side driveway...
