Best way to cure condensation in a conservatory

[tess20]

How can I cure condensation in my conservatory - we have only had it a short time so any help will help.
Thanks

Improve the ventilation, do you have windows or vents you can open?

You get condensation when the air has a lot of moisture in it and surfaces are cold. So you have to work at reducing the amount of moisture (eg better ventilation) in there and try to keep the temperature up a bit - the two things don't go together very well, I'll admit!

My mum's got a humidifier in her conservatory, It gets rid of most of her condensation.

...That'll be a dehumidifier, then..
Trouble is they use energy which costs money. Prevention is better than cure, as they say....

is it double glazed ? shouldn't be that bad if it is, but as said earlier you need some vents open,

"we have only had it a short time"

This may be the issue; if the construction has included any 'wet' trades on the inside in terms of finishing of dwarf walls or existing brickwork now inside the conservatory (plastering, wall painting, screeding of floors) then a massive quantity of water has yet to dry out from the fabric of the building. This may well take a month or so to disperse and you should ventilate it, as others have suggested above

buildersmate: as soon as I had posted my answer above, I thought "it's probably because of recent work done. Oh well, somebody will come along soon and mention it". Thank you!

Any water vapour in the house, Tess, will fly straight to the coldest surface. Conservatories have such massive heat losses that they present a perfect place for water to condense.

You're on a loser trying to adequately heat a conservatory, so that leaves ventilation to clear the vapour from the building.
Being recent, it should have trickle vents in the windows. They do help a lot.
