richo106 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Hi All I have vaulted ceilings in 2 of our bedrooms. The rafters are 175mm, I have 100mm PIR between rafters and then 100mm PIR under the rafters, 25mm battens and then PB. we are having some heavy ish rain tonight and when I went to check on my daughter I could what sounded like water dripping on top of PIR insulation. My only thoughts were that this could be condensation? I have never noticed this at all before I haven’t got any soffit vents, would these be worth installing? I have attached a couple of photos of my roof. The red arrow is where the dripping sound is coming from and the light blue light denotes the room inside. As you can see I have mushroom vents on my flat roof but no soffit vents Is there anything else this noise could possibly be? Why has it only just started now? any comments would be greatly appreciated as I am a little worried about this. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andehh Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Dripping off the chimney! It's amazing how 'loud' it can sound on a roof. We have it from our stove pipe onto the lounge flat roof (bungalow). Edited July 17 by Andehh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
