We have a heated summer house it has dMEV fan, humidity inside hasn't been above 40% for that last month. We have bearly had a dry sunny day in the last month humidity outside closer to 100% most the time. Are you heating the house?

Seal up any in wet rooms https://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/product/trimvent-xr16-upvctimber-window-vent-recessed-352-x-16mm-white-906766 I think that these are the trickle vents that we have, I've looked and can't seem to find a humidity controlled replacement, I think that they are the cheapest the Joinery company could be bothered to find.
Barnboy Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Only source of heat is from body, cooking and showering.

If they would fit over the recess left from mine they still wouldn't fit as I had to make a recess to be able to get enough insulation into the reveal.
