Condensation behind insulation in bungalow roof?

by Jamgars » Fri Jan 10, 2025 2:44 pm

Hi all

I bought an old bungalow a couple of years ago which we have renovated, including having a completely new roof put on.

I fitted 120mm PIR between the rafters and sealed along the edges with foil tape. During this cold weather I have come to fit a 20mm PIR across those same rafters but have found water dripping through the 120mm boards. I took a piece out and found a lot of condensation behind the board. I have only found it in one gap, it doesn't seem to be leaking anywhere else?

Why is condensation gathering in this particular spot? What can I do?

Thanks for any help
