I have been reading some previous posts on condensation in loft spaces but none of them cover my particular problem.
The loft space has been converted,ie floor boarded out and ceiling and wall boarded and plastered.
I have seen some insulation behind the plasterboard but not a lot,and there is also no heating up there,so it presents a massive cold spot.
There is also no extractor fan in the bathroom,and although the property does get aired via the windows,there is a massive condensation issue in this loft space which is starting to spread to lower floors.
Whilst I appreciate that lifestyle causes a lot of condensation,and some changes may help,I am thinking of installing a dri master,as I hear they help a great deal in such situations.Any one got experience of these? Do you think it will help?
Of course I could put a radiator up there,install a vent in the bathroom etc ,and indeed check if there is ventilation within the roof space in the form of any soffit or roof vents ( the list is endless),so just looking for some advice.
