Anybody had issues with garage roof (corrugated 'tin' causing megga - condensation problems especially in cold weather?
I have tried allsorts - but have now suceeded in curing it for good - see photo! the downside was the cost £1200 - but it is a big area (45 sq m)
what is it?
Is it a dehumidifer? Or a heater of some sort?
I think that is a garage door opener!
I guess Steve has had his roof sprayed with insulation.
Cheers

I have the same problem with my domestic size garage.
Absolutely horific condensation when it's cold
Hope to get new garage built this year
Sorry, Guys, been away from PC - Yes, mr guinness is right it is 'sprayfoam' insulation - I had tried spaytacking 6mm polystyrene sheets
first, but it wasn't thick enough - and it didn't cover the 'up' bits of the corrugation - hence all it did was collect the water
and channel it down onto the 4x2 wooden roof supports!
I was very pleased with the guys who came to do the spraying.......this is their website - http://www.webstersinsulation.com/home.html
They are based in Doncaster, but they do jobs all over the country.
I now can leave stuff out in my garage without it ending up in a puddle!
Regards

I replaced the corrugated sheets on my roof with triple glazed poly sheets (as per conservatory) no condensation, no need for lights, even in the
winter (except at night) Cost around £450 including roofing bars etc; for 28 square metre roof. I also dry lined the walls with battens and plaster
board that made a huge difference to the temperature and condensation.
There is very little framework on my roof to start with - it is just RSJs with 4x2 'battening on top - most of the strength is in the
corrugations of the roof sheets - I would have to have started with a complete new framework, and I got a bigger 'un than you! - it would
probably have cost 1200 - 1500 by the time I had finished.
It was also sooo easy - they did it in less than 3 hours.
Having said that, polycarbonate sheeting wasn't something I had thought about - and not needing 5 striplights on would have saved me a bit,
too.
