Condensation on corner of ceilings

tnutbrown

Just bought a bungalow and the ceiling is appearing to collect condensation in the corners of the room causing mould. The windows don’t have trickle vents and are also very wet in the mornings.  What are the most effective ways to reduce this condensation particularly on the ceiling?

Dehumidifier - A short term fix.

Longer term, check your loft insulation and make sure you don't have any cold spots along the eaves. If you can get a low cost thermographic survey done (or even borrow a thermal imaging camera), it should identify where the cold spots are. Ventilating the rooms is also important. I wouldn't get hung up about the lack of trickle vent (personally, I dislike the darned things). A PIV system isn't hugely expensive, and much better on so many fronts compared to trickle vents. In a bungalow, it would be a relatively simple task to install a PIV system that encompasses all the habitable rooms.

I've just installed a PIV system. £500 with carbon filters so 'technically' getting carbon filtered air in the house. Being in a bungalow you would only use the lowest pump setting so will be its lowest cost per day to operate. 

I used to get condensation on my windows and it disappeared over night, not a single drop after setting up the PIV.

The idea is to take outside air from your loft which comes through the eaves and creates positive pressure constantly replenishing the air and allowing no air to settle on surfaces.
