Having a new shower and cubicle fitted some 12mths ago in place of the bath. We are now experiencing Black Mould on the ceiling above the inside of the cubicle.
Having been in this house for some 20yrs, we have never seen any signs of this Black Mould forming in the bathroom. The window is always open and the door leading into the bathroom too, so there should be enough ventilation. ??
The cubicle is fitted into a corner with one fixed glass and one door. The fixed glass has approx. 30mm gap at the top to the stepped down ceiling and the door has approx. 300mm to the proper ceiling. The ceiling is stepped down due to the design of the house with the roof sloping etc. The ceiling has been painted with Kitchen/Bathroom paint.
I have thought of fitting a ceiling vent above the shower to aid ventilation, but would have problems in getting the vent to the soffit or outer wall as the sloping roof has approx. 100mm between tiles and ceiling, not much room to fit a vent pipe. The only other option would be to go up through the roof tiles.
Any suggestions or help please.
IE: fitting of a fan or what to do with mould in preparation or preventing before painting etc.
Thanks
