radiator advice required... for a ladder house front bay window
Hi all,
I need a radiator in my front room - I'd like to put it under the bay window to reduce condensation on it (it's currently mouldy and disgusting and rotten (not my fault, honest - previous residents' fault, yer 'onner) and the wall beneath. It's currently got a panel radiator in the middle of one wall which I want to remove
It's a big window in the bay, so I've only got about a foot from the floor to the bottom of the frame to play with.
has anyone been in a similar situation? how did you deal with it? can you point me in the direction of a radiator supplier who does low level radiators?
Thanks very much

I wonder David if this could be a rising damp problem rather than condensation? Anyway if it is condensation you need ventilation rather than moving your radiator.

thanks hob - it's not rising damp - that's currently being dealt with. the radiator's also in an inconvenient place - in the middle of an interior wall.
as for ventilation, unlike the previous residents i intend to open the window from time to time , adn again, unlike them, I know where the key to the window lock is...

Ha ha. I presume you have also checked any vent in the room is clear as they might also have filled it in to stop draughts. Good luck.

Hi David
You could try THL on Hornsey High Street here's a link to their website.
Local, cheap, and in my experience fairly helpful, I hope that helps.
If you are really stuck, I may also be able to organise a free damp survey with a reputable company that don't rip people off. Just send me a message if you feel this will help shed some light on it.

Thanks Steve, I'll have a look.
Damp proofing is currently in progress - since the plaster's off and the carpets are up I thought I'd try and get some plumbing done at the same time

You're welcome. Good luck with it all.
