Default condensation and damp problem

Hi,

My flat suffers from a very minor case of damp. I get severe
condensation on all windows (double glazed) and there's a slight
claminess to the walls and bedding. Also, powdered products (ie:
salt, sugar etc) in the kitchen cupboards go hard after a while. I've
noticed the problem seems worse at this time of year. anything shut
in storage cupboards can suffer from mould. Would a dehumidifier help
or is there another way, such as silica gel in the cupboards?

Sounds more like a bad case of zero ventilation.

Its VERY hard to get condensation on the inside of a DG unit unless you
have very high internal humidity levels.

Maybe you are simply using a gas cooker with the place sealed shut?

Thanks,
