    Other than paint there is no viable way to resolve this that I can see. The extractor is above the shower in the 2nd warmest corner. We open the window when showering, leave the fan on for a good period after and keep the door open. The bath is in the cold corner so putting a heater in the cold corner would either require electrics or a bathroom refit. (Can you even put an electric heater above bath taps?!). Wall should have cavity wall insulation.

    The only other thing I can think of is trying to add some more/better insulation in the joists above in the roof. But I'm skeptical that would make enough of an improvement in thermal efficiency.

    I guess another extractor could be added in the cold corner. Or some kind of super extractor (but the current one is an inline jobbie not a little fan in the window).

    (cold corner = 2 external walls North and West)

  • There are extractors and extractors. Extraction volume in cubic metres per hour can vary as much as 5x between models. Installing a high end Airflow extractor made a huge difference at our place.

  • Cheers. I'll check it out.

    IIRC it's a relatively inexpensive one from Screwfix.

    (I know this because I thought it was broken but then my OH discovered I'd turned off the switch in the loft with my arse by accident when climbing the steps)
