mold

Hi We have a mold problem in a kitchen cupboard. The cupboard is suspended, in the corner of the room against an outside wall. I was about to install a little ventilation system to get some airflow thru but then remembered there’s a vent on the outside leading straight to the back of the...

Hi all, new here so apologies if I've got the wrong forum, provided too much information, etc. I've just had my first winter/heavy rain in a property with a garage built by the previous owner. The garage has become very damp and moldy. I suspect I have a trifecta of damp - penetrating damp...

My living room wall gets terribly moldy. It is a shared wall, the other side of it being for the communal bin sheds. The managing agents have admitted that the bin shed wall, which is not heated or insulated in any way, had a constant issue annually with moisture problems. The managing agents...

Hi, I'm renovating an old 1903 house and have discovered a serious case of mold on two joists. I probably should have took some photos but needless to say the mold growing on a 2 to 3 foot section of the two joists is quite substantial and thick. It is white and light brown in colour. The...

I had an issue while I had some of the insulation up it wasn't all sealed in for a week and caused condensation to form on decking, dried this off as best as I could and then sealed the pir foam (50mm) in place, foamed all gaps and taped it. Now move on around 2 weeks I decided to take one panel...

Hi, I've just ripped out the kitchen in the house I moved in to a few months ago . Behind the units on the external wall there's mold, but only low level. Some of the skirting was also rotten, and the some of the units were moldy on the back boards (inside and outside the carcass) I know the...

Hi, I'm concerned we have mold/dryrot/fungi on the purlin and some rafters in the attic. We have what appears to be a leak on the valley, im wondering if this has caused the humidity to rise with it being summer and cause this. Could anyone identify or give some advice please? :( Pics uploaded

Morning all, I recently moved into a new flat and today I noticed some round spots on my bedroom wall, which I believe was recently painted - some of them are slightly raised (see attached picture). Any idea what they are? Please let me know if you need more info. Thank you!

Noticed some white mould within my loft space and was wondering a few things: 1. Is this due to lack of ventilation, condensation, or both? 2. Within the pictures attached you can see felt only. I believe this is due to a window being removed (as there seems to be an old single pane window in...

I have a small amount of mould in the bay window area on the wall in the corner by the window going up. I have noticed this morning because a small amount of water has been dripping and leaking down from the roof of the bay area of the window which I think is due to the driving heavy rain we...

I need help! i have what I think is damp on the internals walls of just one room (the bedroom) in a ground floor flat. I first noticed these small darker spots on the walls a few months ago, placed some damp traps around the room to collect and moisture and open the window every day even on...

Hi all, could use some input on this because I'm a bit of a novice and need to make sure I'm using the right tools for the job! Our house was built in the 1940s and we've lived there for almost 30 years, and little did we know there was a badly filled-in air brick inside my build-in clothes...

Can anyone recommend any products they have used to successfully get rid of black staining on stone? I think it's black mold and Google results tell me to use bleach and a scrubbing brush but I'm hesitant on using any bleach. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I have started redo my bathroom and after removing units and tiles from the floor it had uncovered damaged pipe that was leaking slight moisture into the ply the tiles were lied on and underlying floorboards. The floorboard had dried, but still looked nasty, so I wanted to replace them...

Leopard spots on wall after fooling in 2015 gas turned of for 2 years caused by leak and there maybe exposed asbestos from popcorn ceiling

Hi, I hope someone can help? I’ve moved into a 60s house which has not been kept up to date, and whatever has been done looks like it was always done on the cheap. I recently removed the flooring as it was rotten through due to a leaking sink. Underneath the rotten plywood was a concrete floor...

I had this door put in but it was all a bit ad hoc so the door reveal was too wide and some add-on pieces were put on (I don't know what the correct term for them is). The interior emulsion is starting to spot with mold along the inside of the frame so obviously it isn't sealed. I think the...

Hello please look at my attached pictures. My ceilings keep getting damp. My insulation has already been pulled back to make sure this isn't blocking the eves. The plastic on top of the plasterboards is collecting water underneath. Is it safe to cut this plastic and remove it or will I...

Sorry not sure where to post but i need a bit of help, ive got a problem with mold in this room which i washed just 3 days ago and this was not there then. Can anyone tell me what this could be? and what needs to be done about it? Or How it could even appear so quickly? (Video not very good)...

Our bathroom doesn't have an extractor fan, which we do need to get sorted. On a previous trip, my electrician commented that the ceiling of the bathroom was crumbly. I am assuming its best to sort the ceiling before the fan is fitted. The ceiling is plasterboard and after a shower, you can...
