Very persistent mold, mostly in the corner of the side and rear wall in a bathroom extension and above the skirting on one short wall. Few small splotches here and there, too.
I've inspected the flat roof very carefully and it looks in good nick without any damage or wear anywhere. The facias under the flat roof are in mint condition, perfectly painted and undamaged anywhere.
The outside wall is undamaged and paint is in fair condition.
All and all there is nothing to indicate the problem is caused by water coming in from the outside.
It is a single walled extension with little or no insulation so I'm pretty sure it's just condensation at the coldest points. It's currently painted with what I expect to be diy-shed emulsion, so my first step now is to put proper quality bathroom paint on the walls.
Q1: recommendation needed for 1 or 2 brands for bathroom (mold proof) emulsion.
Q2: do I really need to remove all the crappy paint or is there a primer that will provide enough bonding?
Thanks in advance,
B
