    Hi all
    I am currently in the process of buying a house which is a bungalow style house
    We got a survey done ant the fella said the insulation along the roof in the bungalow roof part is blocking ventilation in the roof space and causing condensation in the space. The insulation is fibreglass type. What are my options to change this. Can i just remove the fibreglass and slide down recycled batts and thus leaving a space. Or could i slide some pipes up to allow air to circulate

    You can buy a plastic style grid (imagine a drain) which will keep the insulation from resealing the gap once its replaced. Once in place, insulate away..

    Should you not ask your surveyor this (afterall he/she is the person who has seen the house / attic layout)?

    That's the plan just looking for other peoples experiences

    Your options are eaves vents or gable vents. Your surveyor should recommend which is most suitable.
