Problem with vent/gas fire/condensation/buying dehumidifier

[Woodie37]

Hi all. I am having a problem with condensation in just one bedroom. I have had an expert come look at it and he had recommended installing a new vent which I will do in the new year. In the meanwhile, I would be very grateful if someone could recommend a good dehumidifer that would tide me over - something in a reasonable budget but that works.

Btw, I installed an enclosed hole in the wall gasfire in the sitting room directly below the bedroom concerned - For some reason this has exaberated the problem of condensation. If anyone could shed light on this, it would be great.

Sorry for late reply - I only saw your post now.

I don't understand your reply. The gas fire is in the sitting room, which has a vent and I don't have any problem with condensation there.

The problem is in the bedroom overhead. I have been advised to install a vent in this bedroom to eleviate the condensation problem which I think is being created as a result of the gas fire underneath.

I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any advice you could give.

Many thanks
