Thanks. Every room in the house has a similar pattern so that I need to preserve them for uniformity if nothing else. The ceiling has the original emulsion from 1996 plus my double coat of BIN plus my double coat of Dulux Easycare bathroom emulsion. Although it looks obvious in the photos...

OK, let's see if I can manage this ... 1. Area to the right of the window that had worst mould and is peeling badly. 2. RHS of window reveal that has just had mould removed and nothing else as some making good needed. 3. LHS of window and same comment as in #2 4. Peeling area at door end 5...
