Lost has had extra insulation fitted. I poped up the other day and everything wet. There was water and droplets all down the rafters and felt.

What can I do
 
I can try and get some. It's a 7 year old new build house. Never had hthianissue till new insulation went in. I'm guessing it's blocking some vents on the side.

I can help with this first hand...

Last week I had the same problem.. recently had cavity wall insulation done and noticed higher amounts of condensation on the house... went into the loft and water was dripping from the felt.. not lots but noticeable.

I went around and checked the insulation and some muppet had actually insulated the eves and blocked the vents up which would allow fresh air in..

pulled the insulation back from the eves and unblocked the vents and also stuck 15 felt lap vents in just to be sure and within 48 hours it had cleared up.

Not sure I want to go digging and pulling it back from the eyes.

Not so easy to get too.

The vents sound good. I found 2 types. Which did you go for.
