Treating Condensation
Increasing ventilation helps improve condensation problems in the home. Home remedies can be as simple as opening windows ( particually when cooking or drying laundry), or for windows that lock partly open, leaving them like this more often.
You could also get vents installed, such as: air bricks (bricks specially made with small holes in) added to the outside walls; air vents for internal walls or sealed chimneys to allow airflow through the house; roof ventilation tiles and/or ventilated soffits (under the roof and guttering) to allow air through the loft; window vents added to the top of windows. Bear in mind that these measures may mean that some heat is lost from your house, so balance that against how much of a damp issue you have and consult a specialist to check the best course of action. If you don’t have a fan in your bathroom or kitchen, you should consider installing one, as these two rooms are responsible for most moisture in the home. This could cost as little as £150 each.
