Back bedroom and kitchen beneath freezing every night

[dawn78]

also the kitchen is directly below and has a chimney open area where the cooker is and its directly below where damp is, but the chimney has been removed in the bedroom, but i am wondering if the steam is going through the ceiling to the bedroom above as can feel the cold breeze through the floor in that room

A small oil filled radiator would take the chill off. In the 50s when I was a kid we had to scrape the ice off the windows each morning.

so it wont make much worse impact with the condensation do you think? shall i buy a dehumidifier for the room?

What kind of cooker is it? You could probably do with getting the chimney investigated, maybe an extractor fan venting to the outside wall.

its just a electric one, there definately isnt a extractor fan in kitchen and i noticed steam does go up chimney that why i wonder if going in the bedroom, would a dehumidifier help in the bedroom, and could i still use a old radiator in the room

No. Stop making a drama. All bedrooms get a bit cold.

You would get cooking smells in the room if that were the case.

A dehumidifier is not the answer if the main cause is the steam going up the chimney, you are better off fixing the source of the issue.

there is no cooking smells in that bedroom, other guy said there would be the smell in there if that was the case? room does get very very cold and with a small child in there i do want to get decent heat in the evenings while he sleeping

A nice comfy quilt and a small rad will be fine.

In your photo it shows a small panel radiator ( central heating ) is it not easier to upgrade to a larger double radiator.
The one in there looks a bit small.

 

[dawn78]

i thinks its a 4ft one in the room
