I've had this a problem for a while now, every morning we wake up during winter to find condensation on the front bedroom bay window, we do also get condensation on the front box bedroom as well. We have the central heating on until around 10pm, windows left open/closed, tried everything! I did recently replace the bathroom Fan, thinking that baths & showers were the root cause of the problem and I did think this did cure the fault, as we did seem to get a couple of days were we didn’t have this problem, those days though were quite mild. However, condensation has started to appear again as the weather has got colder. We have no trickle vents on our windows or any air brick in this room and the chimney stack has no vent, so we need to leave them on the fresh air lock, Last night to prove a point to myself, I closed the bedroom door and left the bedroom windows on fresh air, as usual the windows had condensation on them this morning, but the box room didn't.
So I now presume that the cause of the condensation is coming from me and my girlfriend and not from damp or the bathroom. I've taken a look in the loft space and I did replace the insulation around 2yrs ago, the house was built in the 1930's and the roof has no felt under the tiles, so I hate going up there unless I need to. Anyway with the light off, I could see light coming through some of the gaps between the roof tiles, but there is very little light coming from, if any from the eaves. Could it be the eaves that are not getting the ventilation into the roof space that is causing the problem with condensation??? I guess a dehumidifier would probably clear the problem, but i would rather have a proper fix than a work around.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
