I have a cupboard in the bedroom.
There is are black, fungas type spots at the bottom of the wall and rising. The cupboard when open stinks of a very musky smell which gives me the sneezes... Someone told me it was condensation as the cupboard was not getting enough air. I painted a damp proof coating thing onto the wall which hid it until now. Understandably at that time it was true that no air was getting to it but now i make sure it does. Is it too late and this is why the problem persists or is it something else??
I believe the plaster is now rotten and the only way to solve this is to hack of the plaster down to the brick and redo.
Any views please?
