[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 407483, member: 8133"] No. 1 thing to do is to have them address any lifestyle issues that are having a big effect on condensation... The tumble drier venting into the room is the obvious one (can it be vented outside?) But suggest avoiding... drying washing on radiators, leaving bathroom window shut when taking a shower... having the heating cause large swings in temperature (leave it on lower and for much longer), etc No. 2 Is to address insulation issues.... if this is a solid stone properly, and its condensing on the walls around the windows, there is not a lot that can really be done easily. If it is condensing on the window and making the whole area wet, then a window vac used in the morning can reduce the amount of water a lot No.3 Ventilation.... Might we worth looking at PIV... positive input ventilation. Its a filtered fan that forces dry air from the loft into the house slowly, all the damp air leaves through the gaps you naturally get in older buildings [/QUOTE]
