Hi, just wanted to know a few things as I have not got a clue.
Our kitchen was replastered 8 years ago, before that we never had any issues with mold, 6 months in we noticed dark spots appearing around the window and black in the corners, mostly black, grey dots everywhere. We used to have a radiator in there but as we never used it to hear the old kitchen we had it taken out, now, we have a electric wall heater if needed and open windows while cooking, mainly boiling water, anything else hob related and oven use and have an extractor fan.
Can walls sweat even though they are dry that have had a second layer of plaster over them? And was it a cheaper alternative to plaster over the walls than to just get all the previous plaster off?
Secondly, our small toilet has black mold/white mold growing on the walls, it has 2 outside walls which are both single brick walls. No matter what has been tried to fix the issues it's always come back. Would the only thing to do is build a second brick wall with a damp proof sheet in-between it?
Any help would be vastly appreciated.
