Hi,I went into our loft to put the Christmas tree away and the rafterswere wet and some of the cardboard boxes up there were damp. At firstI wondered whether some of the snow had melted and leaked through aniffy ridge tile but I've been told it is likely to be condensation.I'm puzzled how the warm air gets up there because there's a good teninches or so of insulation (rolls). I've been told that once the coldspell goes everything will return to normal. I am concerned about thetimber getting wet and all the boxes (and presumably their contents)getting soggy. Is it likely to just be condensation and nothing worse,and is there anything I can do to limit it? Would wedging slabs ofinsulation between the rafters help?TIA
