Oh and we blocked the lower vent at fireplace to stip any moist house air getting in to the flue, the rooms ventilation which was supplied by the old fireplace has now gone, ive made her aware of this, and told her to make sure she gets better ventilation in the bedroom as it is suffering from...

I would like to add, in case anyone reads this after searching for an answer, my sister has damp on chimney breast upstairs in bedroom, i found chimney was vented at bottom with small plastic grill, and a pepperpot cowl outside, i poked drain rods up and could see the pepperpot moving so flue...

Ah, now I see, you might be outta luck then, looks like you will need a selv fan wherever in that size room, only options are try and find a better fan, or you could try putting a 4inch vent in your door low down to increase or match air flow of the fan, so its replacing as much air as its...

was the condensation there before you sealed all the holes?,maybe it hasnt dried yet? have you checked fan ducting for leaks, fan ducts have to be sealed airtigt to the vents not zip tied with the supplied ties, do the fans vent away from the roof and not letting steam back in, are the ducts...

i think you may be out of luck, as you have no attic, , where is your current fan, where is it vented to? and where is the little electric box placed (the one thats in the ebay picture beside the fan), the more powerful fans generally are bigger, the main reasons for selv fans are to keep the...

it could be that the areas arent insulated causing cold spots underneath, then condensation, or it could be the draughts coming up through the eaves in your pictures are cooling and wicking away the heat from the ends of the insulation, i would stick a plastic bag over the ends of each roll of...

all of the above advice is spot on, all i can add is before you put anything down in the loft seal up every hole you can find, eg light cables hole, switch cable hole, pipe holes , once you cover your ceiling with insulation your attic becomes just as cold as outside, but the underneath of...

The fan you got from ebay sucks 90litres of air from what it says, I think the bigger fans that I got was I think was 400 litres of air per minute, but don't quote me on that

Oh and in answer to your question, it cannot dry your tiles, if the moisture is airboure it easily sucks it away, once droplets are formed.it won't suck it away, it only condenses on your tiles because they are cold, so unless you can heat them up you will just have to scrape them down after...

I Had a low voltage One just like yours, but the actual fan was in the loft, same thing just away from my shower so you don't get an electric shock, this was then connected to the shower vent with ducting, same type as a tumble drier, I bought a big black fan from screwfix, its sucking power on...

Is it one of those silly little white fans? The square ones?, bin it, buy a bigger loft mounted one, about 60 quid, it sucks more air out and sucks the steam away as its happening, so it can't go everywhere and condense on things, it also has an overrun and humidity thing too, screwfix I think...

Hi there, I hate mold, you should see my house, ! my advice is to buy a hygrometer for 3 quid on ebay, it is digital and solar powered, it provides room temp, and humidity, stick it in the room you are trying to solve, if it is more than 50 percent humidity, then your answer is you are making...

Remove external render, should never be on stone cottage, render is waterproof so no water gets in, but also waterproof on its other side, so if water does find its way behind then it can never evaporate out, only travel and spread through to internal wall, remove render let it dry, repoint all...
