Default Toilet cistern condensation

Others are right, if there is vast amounts of condensation then the
humidity around it is probably somewhat high.


It must be the humidity around it rather than the humidity
generally... the bathroom humidistat is adjusted as low as practical
without the fan actually running 24x7 (which it does anyway in the
summer of course). The humidity from the rest of the house should be
low - humidstat fans in the kitchen and utility room, but the kitchen
one rarely comes on because of course there's another extractor fan
over the cooker.

But there's no ventilation at all for the boxing around the cistern.
The cistern is against an outside wall so the boxing will have the
effect of lowering the temperature in the boxed area, if that makes
any difference.
