We are renovating an old stone barn which was originally converted in the early 80s. There was evidence of damp due to a leaking roof which has now been resolved, there were no extractors in the bathroom and kitchen which we have also now installed. There is no evidence of rising or penetrating damp. There is no insulation on the outside walls and there is evidence of mould on these walls due we believe to condensation. We are going round room by room stripping off the old plasterboard and re-insulating. We are treating the walls/floors with a fungicidal wash to try to kill mould spores.
We are working on a particularly badly affected room at the moment and are concerned that as we are doing this work mould spores are being disturbed. We are trying to contain as best we can but it is inevitable that these spores are going to get into adjacent rooms that are less badly affected but yet to be renovated.
Any advice would be welcome on how we can treat these air borne spores.
Thanks
