Managing condensation risk
You need to thoroughly evaluate how likely it is for moisture to accumulate and condense within your roof spaces. After assessing these potential issues, it's essential that you put effective measures in place to manage and prevent condensation from forming.
This obligation comes directly from Approved Document C (Resistance to Moisture), a key regulation that specifically outlines the requirements for controlling unwanted moisture buildup in buildings.
