You need to both heat & ventilate.

Thats the answer, anything else is a waste of time and effort.
There is no cheap answer,



Mr G , good plan, open window, put the £400 towards heating costs.

We had this problem at our last house,we bought a dehumidifier for about £65 and that worked a treat for us, but my wife did also paint the walls with an anti damp paint after we had sorted it out which all good diy stores sell

The house I'm in used to get badly affected by condensation, bits of mould growing round windows.
I now keep both the bedroom and bathroom window open just a fraction all the time (opening the bathroom one fully when running either a tap or shower - and leave the doors open during the day. What was an on-running problem has not existed in many years.

as an instant mould killer the best thing is milton sterilising fluid(babys bottles), kills the mould spores off that are present, then you need to find the cause
