We live in stone cottage built in 1903. We have removed all the awful render off the main building and had it re-pointed which has stopped condensation on our bedroom window reveals.
We have also had a PIV system fitted which filters in clean air and pulls out stale air.
We have recently decorated and moved our toddler into the spare room. This is an extension which is about 10 years old. Assuming breeze blocks with render on the outside. We have had a new loft hatch fitted and checked all the insulation in the small loft space and that there are no leaks in the roof.
The window is triple glazed. There is enough space under the door for the PIV system to work properly.
After 2 nights of our son being in there the humidity is up to 87%. The only other thing I can think of is having trickle vents fitted retrospectively in the window.
Does anyone else have any further suggestions or similar experiences?
Thanks in advance.
