humidity

I am going to run a dehumidifier in the loft when the weather is at its coldest and would like to know if anyone knows the science that would help me set the humidity detection to the right amount. Example; operate to dehumidify to 60% and operate when 5 degrees celsius or lower. I want to...

Hi all, I have had some moisture/dampness issues in my conservatory on the only solid wall. I believe this has been caused by the cold temperatures in the conservatory in winter (next winter I'll just need to keep the room better heated and get a humidifier I think). The room has three...

When it's very cold, moisture drips from the felt under the tiles of the roof. It could be up to 50 years old (70's house) so it will not be breathable. No issues whatsoever during the heaviest rainfall. Currently, there does not seem to be any source of fresh air (no eaves providing this) so...

Hi there My house has high humidity levels and I’m thinking installing air bricks would help (I already have sub-floor air bricks but installing other air bricks higher in the wall might help). I haven’t seen any photos of air bricks from higher up in the wall from inside the house. I’m...

So I have a black mould stop at the top corner of my house. I believe it's a cold wall and we have high humidity causing it. It is always around 80 this time of year. Before looking at PIV systems which will take time to research I thought I would look at a possible cause. On one of the same...

I have nearly finished my downstairs guest toilet/bathroom and would like to give it a nice touch with ceiling coving. I know it’s not an issue reading previous articles on here but I am unsure which one is the most recommended due to humidity? I don’t want to have too much mess if I can avoid...

Hi there, We moved into a Victorian house in the summer, however a few weeks ago when up in the loft I noticed some mold growing on some of the rafters against the roof, and the rafters themselves felt a bit damp to the touch. The roof it fairly new (approx 10 years old), felted and not...

Hi all! I am having an absolute headache trying to work out exactly how best to do this. I've spent hours researching and there seems to be so many conflicting comments out there. I wish to repaint all of the gloss in my house with a satinwood finish. There are several layers of paint on the...

Good evening. I hope this is the right place for some advice. I’ve been having issues with damp and air quality in the house. So much so when the boiler was running (before it got turned off by Cadent) the bedroom above the boiler smelt really bad and the air was putrid like stale air. It caused...

My daughter recently bought a 1920's semi-detached house. I noticed that the inside humidity was higher than you would expect, typically higher 60's to early 70's. This high humidity produces quite a lot of condensation even though the fanlights are kept slightly open. The house itself is not...

Hi all, Please can you recommend me a bathroom air extractor with humidity sensor. I'm looking to buy 4 to replace the ones that I currently have (all 10 years old and noisy/failed - I moved into the house 3 years ago). 3 bathrooms with showers/bath and 1 room with just a toilet. I have looked...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on how to go about insulating and humidity-proofing my shed with the hope of going on to turning it in to an indoor tropical rainforest type of thing with pineapples, figs etc and maybe even fish at some point (in Scotland) . It was a pigeon coop/house and...

Hi all, Big old Victorian Semi-detached house, hermetically sealed with too much wallpaper, a damp cellar wall, (although cellar is reasonably well ventilated and shut off from the rest of the house) . When we moved in the bathrooms didn't have extractor fans, have fitted one, planning to...

Hello, Could someone please help me identify what this could be? I had a leaking pipe in my utility room- for a very long time. It was under the laminate floor and went unnoticed. This is now fixed. In the utility room I also use a condenser, which leaked allot. This no longer gets used...

Hello - I have this 4" Extractor Fan with a Timer and Humidistat circuit board in it - there are 2 adjuster screws (pots) and one is for timer, one controls humidistat. For using timer you need 3 wires, 1 neutral, and 2 Lives (1 switched live, 1 permanant live) - the wires I have coming into the...
