Description

As winter sets in and temperatures drop, there’s an increasing risk that moisture will condense in the roof space and cause problems. The source of the moisture – and therefore the solution – isn’t always obvious.

Condensation in the roof space of a house can cause a range of problems including mould, a reduction in the effectiveness of insulation and, in some cases, a reduction in the lifespan of the roof structure.

Scope

This article includes: 

• Look down, not just up (roof space moisture sources)
• Warm roofs make condensation unlikely
• Tackling the problem in cold roofs
• Roof ventilation
