Excuse my ignorance...
When we moved into our current house I noted that I could see the joists in the bathroom ceiling, the ceiling was very mouldy, no bathroom fan. I assume it's been like this for a very long time.
Have since killed the mould, fitted a strong fan, painted the ceiling with Zinsser (which worked well for a while), but the paint is starting to crack, electrician told me the plasterboard was shot.
Due to ongoing issues with condensation (which I have been attempting to fix with vents etc.) want to stop moisture from entering the loft from the bathroom area.
Can I safely overboard the bathroom ceiling using drylining with a Duplex foil back board or Knauf moisture panel or similar (which would you suggest)?
Am assuming I would also have to tape the edges of the room as well as the joints if I want to stop moisture?
What type of tape should you use with this plasterboard I'm assuming paper, to prevent moisture from going through?
