Yeah, initially thought it was leaking, thankfully it's only condensation☺️. Still a little tricky, if the mould continues, it will rot the time structure
I had the same problem in my loft one month ago. I top up the insulation and insult the hatch door as well to ensure no warm air get into the loft, especially from the bathroom. Apart from Dehumidifier, blower surprising work well to dry up the whole area
@@Dancerc I see that you have a cushion on your door, I put some insulation foam 4-5inch thick,just barely close the door with no gap. Cannot put photo here, otherwise I send you what I did.
Good job Canaan! Ah Wai is very knowledgeable and technical. Your videos provide a lots of practical information and realistically present normal life in UK. We have similar roof structure in Canada with some differences in materials used, for majority of house structure it's wood frame instead of brick wall. Also, Instead of felt, we use a layer of waterproof membrane on pile wood under the roof tiles. Thank you again.
My house- Edinburgh (1958) ,have very good ventilation and no moss. However, the gutter maybe too old and got little wet in our room ceiling when it is heavy raining. We paid $2000 pounds to a guy to fix it (last Dec). However, he made our window scratch and still have some water leaks (little) in our room at the moment. We approached him again but have no response. Very bad guy we met in Scotland.
I think u need a roof vents . 住house是好麻煩的.我好多年之前condensation problem in my loft. 要放兩個。英國天氣凍多。熱空氣上升加開暖氣。loft最怕有漏水現象和米奇。好多英國屋有。take it easy. No worry. 😊.
Is it possible to install dehumidifier at wet season to fix the problem ? Also, spraying expanding foam and laying carpet etc. to raise the dew point ?
Been thinking about that. I'm a little skeptical with the window letting train water through. It's a roof light after all. I started opening the window during the day on some days, it is helping.
Thank you. Yes, for loft extension to be counted as floor area. 2.2m to be minimum height according to building regs. I think our loft is really tight🤨😔
@@Dancerc My house's roof top is damaged by my previous tenant recently. They drilled a few holes up on the ceiling of the roof from the inside of my loft. Do you recommend me to cover them up properly? And what kind of insulating material you recommend me to use for my loft's insulation? 35 mm thickness is for what kind of material?
Hi your roofing felt looks in very good condition but its the old type non breathable thats why you have problems, but you are doing a great job to solve them, you can get vent tiles put into your roof 👍
This isn't so straight forward, it depends on the level below. Hard to answer. Our house for example, we would lose the third bedroom if we wanted to get a compliant stair case into the loft.

剛剛正想問，發現大部分英國嘅屋，Bathroom 都唔多見有「抽氣扇」Exhaust Fan。 係咪因為天氣太凍唔會裝？BTW, 上次 呢個channel 嘅Q&A 都有人問及 「浴室寶」,呢個正正就係抽氣加暖風機嘅Hybrid 混合產物。（不過個人認為抽風效果麻麻，要暖的話，英國屋廁所都有Radiator. 所以應該用不著。
@@Calvin_Yip totally agree with the radiator. We don't have a fan on the bathroom, we just open the window after shower and turn on dehumidifier of needed. It works just fine for now.
我以前在香港一間極高級的酒店做工程師直接到退休.這種情形長長發生在樓底和假天花之間.最便宜的方法是装把風扇24小時運作.如有可能有少少空隙位比空氣circulation.當然亦可裝dehumidifier但要考慮電費及drain pipe.這是我們一直以來都是這樣做的亦非常有効.可以試試
@@lklau956 華宗，你好！我都係退休酒店人員，相信exhaust pipe duct是一個問題，英國detached跟美國排屋相似，大多是黑廁，有幸是天氣比香港乾燥。

在牆身對開鑚兩組小孔(電線吼)作對流,但鑚咀要斜斜哋向下鑽,鑚完後再插入2.5mm膠喉便可防咀雨水入屋,但在屋内膠喉咀加小網而防阻小動物從膠喉入屋
概念上，全對。現實上，孔洞的總面積，依然太小，通風量不會足夠。(閣樓的天窗，可以利用來通風，散水氣)

我間屋做了loft conversation, 就因為屋頂太短，最後要把二樓ceiling lowered來增加高度，比較大工程。而且加多了一間房，全屋要再inspect, 要合乎消防規定。原本要求地下已經打通了的廳，要間返一邊wall. 好彩後來building regulation 容許只要有fire door 和夠smoke alarm 都ok。同埋好depends 原本landing有冇位加stairs.
其實我都想問council bylaws 有無limitations

我現在知道Rightmove 內有D頂層(閣樓）單位，點解會特別平，真係有原因㗎！🙏🏻😃😃😃
好清楚，多謝你哋，可品可以搵一集講下抽濕機邊個brand好。謝謝
既然有個天窗，可加個有細綱的 ROOF 通風 "口” 就得啦。 風由屋頂邊入，再由新加通風口出。屋頂便保持乾爽，不會有 霉. GOOD. LUCK
我屋企對住部冷氣道牆都係發左霉，黑色一達達，我就用濃多少少漂白水大力抹，再用風筒吹乾，而家幾年都無問題啦！

呢個唔叫loft leaking, loft leaking 大獲好多. condensation間間英國house都有.除非長期開窗或長期開抽濕先可以解決.

係用 1：49漂白水呀，重要用乾既紙清潔
我終於明白，為何 loft 有個天窗。散水氣用的。
迦嵐同亞偉，那應是木板遇潮，三個方法頂住當，一出報纸覆蓋，二係出封箱膠纸全貼，三係油油。當然有孔有裂要節膠。

不記得在甚麼地方看過一些人的閣樓，裡面塞滿了吸水棉，活像一個堆填區，說是因為屋頂漏水。現在看見你家的閣樓，對比起來真是非常整潔。
ohh that does sound quite scary. Hopefully they have solved the problem. Otherwise, it would only lead to more serious problems.

Is it possible to install dehumidifier at wet season to fix the problem ? Also, spraying expanding foam and laying carpet etc. to raise the dew point ?
Smart ideas! Personally don't like expanding foam insulation, it's hard to main the roof after that. The dehumidifier is in the loft right now😅
You have a window, can you open a small gap enough for some air through. Some windows you can still lock it, but leave a small gap opened.
Been thinking about that. I'm a little skeptical with the window letting train water through. It's a roof light after all. I started opening the window during the day on some days, it is helping.
Yes, i saw that window and should be use that small gap open.
Very useful information, thanks!

英國咁潮濕，如果通風後會唔會整個閣樓都好潮濕呀？
倒汗水啫，唔算漏水

想請教舊樓有冇石棉（Asbestos）問題要處理？
Might talk about it in a video. In general. Don't touch it. That's it
Why not just get a ladder and replace a few tiles with vents. Just takes 5 min per vent if done by a roofer.
Thank you, I think I need to get some quotes! Sounds straight forward.
唔知改成metal roof 會唔會違法呢? 理論上metal roof 更耐用
It needs to match local context so unlikely to be accepted for planning. Not for a house anyways.
