In new buildings, there are building regs that specify exactly how a roof space should be ventilated. At the time of discovering this problem, we were in the grips of the Troll of Trondheim think sub-zero temperatures, snow and ice, which probably exacerbated the issue by increasing the temperature variation between the loft and the rest of the house. The vast majority of condensation issues in lofts can be cured by pulling the insulation back from the eaves. Tile/Slate Vents - If you’ve had tile vents fitted get up into the loft and make sure the sarking felt/membrane (the waterproof felt under the roof tiles has been cut below the tile vents to allow air in. Energy efficient home heating systems are many and varied and not all will suit your home - Here's what you need to know before choosing one!
Pictures show that clearly - day 1 of installing these vents with some very wet areas on the north side of roof and same side in 4 days, almost completely dry. So if you start to notice any of the following signs of ventilation problems, now is the time to start taking some remedial action. Condensation is moisture previously held as vapour in the air that has turned back to water after hitting a cold surface. This means our roof spaces (above the insulating layer) are cooler than the rest of our homes, creating an environment that’s perfect for moisture and condensation to build up. Do I need these on all 4 sides of my pitched roof or just on two sides to get the cross flow ventilation?To reduce the chances of condensation you need to increase the ventilation in your loft to try and get rid of any water vapour that may be present, before it manages to condense. It would be perfect for Sylvanian Families or 'Borrowers' (showing my age with those two references.
On some occasions this will not be enough to cure the issue so we advise you run through the following steps to gradually improve the ventilation until you have enough to stop the issue. I will use a bathroom as a comparison: What do you do after you shower and there’s condensation over the walls and windows in your bathroom? We are quite used to seeing condensation in the bathroom, firstly in the form of hot steam as we shower or bathe, but then, as the bathroom cools, the steam condenses on the ceiling, cold water pipes, tiles etc.Solution: I’ve used a fine saw to cut the vents down to size, they then fitted into the gap between the roof rafters. However, before you start inviting friends and family over, it’s crucial to ensure that your patio is in pristine condition. I was sceptical, even though there is many good reviews, BUT it is really good solution if you have condensation in attic.
In this short blog post, I’ll show you a way you can get rid of loft condensation yourself – provided it is safe for you to go into your loft. Ridge tile vents are placed on the ridge, at the very peak of the roof to allow warm air to escape rather than condense in the roof space. You should ensure that the opening of felt laps on the property will not adversely increase the wind uplift load on the tiles/slates or the driving rain resistance of the roof, for more information see BS 5534:2003, 5. In September we'd added another layer of insulation, which I believe may have contributed to the issue. This can often be remedied quickly and easily if your loft has a traditional lapped membrane or roofing felt behind the tiles.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

If the system is simply a combination of vents with no thought or design, you could actually do more harm than good. Ventilation tiles/slates – are another means of providing extra ventilation to a property which had restricted ventilation at the time of construction.
