I have two rooms that seem to suffer badly from condensation. On cold
mornings the Windows are covered in condensation and over a period of time
the painted walls start to turn black. Is there anything I can do to cure
this? Is there are special paint that I can paint onto the outside or
inside
walls to stop the walls from turning this colour. One room used to have a
fireplace but I have now blocked this up. The other room a bed is up
against
the wall that shows signs of condensation. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks


Condensation is only stopped by two things, heat and ventilation.

Your problems are made worse by having a closed fire place opening. If this
was open it will allow air to circulate and reduce the condensation. With it
closed off you will actually make the problem worse.

Your furniture needs to be at least 4" away from a uninsulated wall to
reduce the black mould.

Your windows are easily resolved, open them. The amount of people who
complain about condensation and then do nothing is staggering.

It is not a problem with the house it is the way you live imp afraid to say.
