 Dealing with condensation - smokie
First I should have added she has to live on a bit of a budget - partner has been furloughed more or less since March.

Thanks for comments so far, all noted - I've suggested she leave the window open a crack to get some airflow. There's no power into the room but I'll ask her to look what's in the next room to guess how easily she could tap in.

That might be easier than adding a rad/towel rail to the CH, as you suggest Mark. My neighbour plumber added one here on the wall outside the boiler cupboard last year but it isn't in the CH circuit and is on whenever the boiler fires up, which is fine for what I want but probably wouldn't be for her (or maybe it would be...?!?!?).

I think she needs a plumber and an electrician to take a look really as they'd come up with the best solution (you'd hope so anyway!) along with an idea of cost. Also get someone to give her an idea of what an extractor (or just a vent) would cost (keeping the window open is cheapest but she'd be reluctant as it's not a massively secure area).

Those tubes Zero - just on one wall or on as many as poss?
