Hi, any ideas please, our toilet backs onto an outside wall. When I fitted a new bathroom I put some polystyrene behind the cistern to try to stop condensation on the cistern. Still getting the condensation so I think it's down to the coldness of the water coming into the cistern, the water is very cold. Any help please.

I think you will struggle to stop this. We have a toilet in the utility room & condensation forms on it all winter but not summer. I have not found a way to prevent it. Perhaps I should connect it to the hot water supply.
It's been discussed a couple f times before at least, don't think anyone's ever found a solution. Do a search.

Thanks that gives me plenty to look at.
Connect it to the hot water supply instead !
Running the water feed from the tank in the loft space will make a difference, I gather at the moment the cistern it is fed directly from the mains, Water Temperature difference having run underground in the Winter causes the condensation,
Thanks Bosswhite, I will try the tank. A friend of mine ( who knows everything about everything or so he tells everyone ) said it would not work, but if you don't try you will never know, unless your that friend of mine.
Only good ventilation will have any effect, I use high volume fan with two inlets to keep shower room moisture free.
