Ventilation keeps a home dry , does not make it cold..

The only way to ventilate the room is have the bedroom window slightly open which would bring a draught downstairs, especially when the log burner is going.

You need a vent thru wall , heat rises so opening window would draw heat up.

Ok, the gutter was fixed during the dry summer period. It now doesn't leak. have had the bedroom window slightly open as much as possible and yet the paper still feels damp to the tough.

Riddle me that one!

Get air movement with a fan on in the day.
Could take months to dry out fully

I will add I have had a fan in the room going all Summer evenings, which was very hot and dry.

Well this just doesn't make sense. The room is aired in the day, dehumidifier runs and no water ingress coming in from outside and yet the corner feels damp, almost wet to the touch. This defies physics and logic

Cold and damp often feel the same, it can be cold and dry but feel damp.
In any case, cold isn't great, as it means condensation could form.
But your window opening and dehumidifier will reduce that likelihood.
Don't forget to heat the space as well, warm air hold the moisture, which then vents out of the window or get trapped in the dehumidifier.

My point being, don't stop using Head & Shoulders just because the dandruff has magically gone away!

Hold a piece of tissue against it and see if it actually gets wet.

Tape some plastic to wall.
If it's wet under you have a damp wall.
If it's wet on top of plastic its condensation

I've just give it an blow with a hairdryer and it seems to work so far.

I’ve used Gardz before; only because we had some left
