Hi all,
I am looking for some advice and what can be done. Back at the start of 2020, we had our loft converted. In the recent cold weather, we have seen water marks coming through...
Looking back through my photos of the renovation, these marks seem to line up with where the breaks in the insulation foam are...
From what I have read on these forums, there needs to be a vapour barrier or the insulation needs to be taped up at the seams. However, it looks like this has not been done.
During the build (early 2021), we did notice some water marks and noted this to our builder... this was also during a cold snap (Jan 21).
I guess this is ice build up on the slate nails, which when melts, the water runs down the insulation. My builder is now ignoring our calls as we feel he did not complete the job properly.
We are a bit stuck as to what to do next. From the pictures, has our builder missed something that is resulting in these marks?
Many thanks in advance
