    Single or double glazing?

    My house had single glazing when I moved in first. After a year of streaming windows and associated problems I bit the bullet and installed double glazing. Best thing ever.

    Never had a problem since.

    But that may not be the issue in your house.

    Does it have cavity wall insulation? They used to pump a foam insulator into houses and it could cause problems with damp.

    Yes it has cavity wall insulation (done over 17 years ago) and I believe it foam. What are you recommending please ?

    I have also got double glazing.

    I have cleaned the filter on the dehumidifier.

    Assume you have your windows cracked open a tad or trickle vents open?

    We used to have terrible condensation in our bedroom every morning until I opened the fanlight window an inch or so. Now we have none.
