Hi Liam It's sounds like a condensation issue the best solution would be to install a positive ventilation system in the loft.

Hi Liam, Mould will only grow on moisture that is created internally, so the problem will be condensation rather than moisture ingress. The cure to condensation and mould is finding the correct ventilation solution. Air bricks, trickle vents, anti-mould paint, dehumidifiers etc. only provide a short term solution, and in some instances (usually air bricks) can make the problems worse. Ask a ventilation specialist for a free survey, they will be able to find the right mechanical ventilation solution for you and your home. They should be able to offer a money back guarantee that it will solve the problem for you.
