Condensation inside loft - suggestions for solutions please

Hi

Been inside the loft today and noticed the inside of the roof is wet on the side of the house that has no sun if that makes sense.

Has anyone any experience of this and any solutions to help stop it

Thank you in advance

    More ventilation is needed. You haven't recently topped up the insulation have you?

    How did you guess ? Why does that make it worse

    Because you've probably stuffed insulation down into the eaves towards the soffits and compromised the ventilation at that level.

    Drag it out - allow the designed ventilation system to work and the condensation will go away.
