Renovation project - Insulation, insulation, insulation

Everything is dried in the main house and we move back in, the first morning we notice how much condensation there is in the bedrooms, the 2^ndmorning we notice that the condensation is on the ceiling, this is not good.

Severe condensation is caused by cold spots in the house. John goes into the loft to check the insulation and realises there are gaps between the floor insulation the roof insulation.

He decides to completely redo this. This means removing all of the insulation he attached to the roof beams and cuts it to size to fit in between.

He also adds more insulation under the floorboards and packs insulation into the eaves.

That night the house is like an oven, it is so warm and the following morning there is virtually no condensation.

Big tip if you have a problem with condensation, always check your insulation. It will not cure it completely if you are in a old stone house, but it will make a big difference.

As we said in older posts, all the ceilings have had insulation added before they were decorated.

Insulation is key, you really can't have too much.
