Black mould in one part of eaves, directly above bathroom with no extractor fan

[foxhole]

Yes, because of the presence of moisture, not "air movement" lol

You're so completely wrong mate, and I could have predicted you'd still argue it. Freezedrying prevents mould for a reason. It's not about airflow, it's about moisture control. It's demonstrable across all of life

There's no airflow in a packet of crisps, yet they NEVER go mouldy, UNLESS OPENED AND INTRODUCED TO MOISTURE PRESENT IN THE AIR.

There's a reason why popping a jar of jam breaks its antimicrobial properties = the introduction of moisture and microbes.

There's a reason why mould grows on park benches, and it's not this new term "still air", but because of MOISTURE RELATIVE TO AIRFLOW. A park bench has literally maximum airflow, yet still goes mouldy...

Seriously, just stop, we could argue this all day, but you aren't arguing with me, you're arguing with

No mould without mould spores , simple .If they can’t settle you don’t get mould simple .
You crisps analogy is beyond stupid .

Hmm, I see that you're incredibly insecure, and can't handle being wrong, so I'm sure we could go on and on and you'll drill down on the tiniest points in order to not accept that you were demonstrably incorrect. We could derail the thread entirely and make it about your low self-esteem, and that would be fine. Great way to spend a Thursday...

Like I say, though, you aren't even arguing with me, lmao, you're arguing with f**king biology. You aren't proving yourself right, you're proving you don't have even a basic understanding of how mould propagates.

Also, please don't call people stupid when you have the grammar of a 10 year old. The analogy was perfect; I can't help if the person reading it isn't sufficiently equipped to understand it's relevance.

Putting you on ignore.

What level of problem in this if I address it right now, having only just discovered it?

Are you really seeking advice,

when making comments like the above, when offered it?

No, definitely not seeking advice from people who don't know what they're talking about. I'm not sure that's particularly controversial, is it? I'm trying to solve a problem, not have someone tell me how little they understand it.

Anyway, got all the info I needed - have remedied the situation myself, and didn't have anyone come in and tell me I was completely screwed, which was really what I was most concerned about.

Have a good weekend everyone, thanks to those who responded without prejudice

Crisps would go mouldy , but the bags are filled with nitrogen , an inert gas to prevent it.

Wasting you time Harry.

This originated in our first flat when we learned you couldn't shower in a closed room with no windows or fan and not have black mould. Our current property was the first property we'd had since that didn't have an extractor fan, so I just insisted nobody bathed without the sash window being open at both ends for the duration of the bath, no matter the time of year, and that it remain open for a minimum 20 minutes after leaving the room.

Wow you must be hardy folk. Personally I squeegee down the tiles after a shower and then open the windows. This is enough to prevent mould.

My question is, would you get in this space and hoover, or is that excessive?

Personally I would because I like things to look nice.
