Hi All,
I am new to the forum, and thought it would be the best place to pose a few queries with regards my degenerating bathroom!
For a little while now, I have noticed black specks of mould appear around the top corners of my bathroom. The one I am mostly concerned about is the corner which consists of 2 'external' walls. I have taken photos to show what has occured...
Can anyone advise as to what my problem may be, and how to rectify it?
Here's a some more info to bear in mind:
The bathroom is very small in size, and is used daily for showers (over bath).
The wooden-panel ceiling is 'supsended', hanging maybe a foot below the original ceiling height. Is this type of roof generally ok for bathrooms? Or would it be best to attempt to open up the ceiling to it's full height?
The textured paint (as seen peeling away from the walls) - is this generally accepted for use in bathrooms? Also, I think the paint may well be general emulsion rather than anti-fungicidal paint.
There is no extractor fan fitted. There is a window fitted which we gerally leave ajar (maybe an inch at most).
I moved into the house 6 years ago, and I havent touched this room in terms of decorating etc.
Thanks for any advice guys.
