Hey,
We have lived in our property for nearly 6 years and every winter we have a terrible problem with condensation on the walls. We have problems in the back and front bedrooms. The walls just drip with water and if the wall is covered with a piece of furniture it gets considerably worse. We try to wipe it every day, but we still get mould growing on the walls.
It’s terrible, we all live busy lives so it’s just impossible to move the furniture every day to wipe the walls down, so we try to do it every week which is just getting ridiculous. It’s so bad that even where the curtain hangs over the wall a little, the area where it’s covered is covered in mould and soaking wet.
It only appears on the outside walls, and we try to ventilate the room as much as possible. Both rooms have vents that are left open 24/7 and we leave the windows open in the rooms as much as possible.
Anyone have any solutions where we can sort this problem out? I have been told about putting polystyrene on the walls where we get the problems as this will warm the wall up and sort out the problem, but I’m not sure if this will work, we have tried many things in the 6 years to try and sort the problem but nothing seems to work (We have tried stripping the wallpaper and just painting on the walls, tried a humidifier ...)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
