Hi all,
This is my first ever post and I am here because I seriously need some help. I am getting really pee'd off over the whole thing. We moved in to this house 11 months ago and everything looked fine and dandy except some dodgy half-a**ed DIY jobs that needed fixing.
Around 3 months ago we started getting mould on our bedroom ceiling and the room has started feeling damp - to the point that as the weather has gotten worse we now have mould growing on clothing and bedding feels damp. I am starting to consider moving in to the spare bedroom because it can NOT be healthy for us.
I've had a few family members check the loft and should add that from what we have seen our roof isn't leaking.
So my question before I kill someone and my other half who say I am making a massive deal out of nothing - IS THIS JUST CONDENSATION?:
I have a problem with the window too in that there is a gap between the window and wall so the window obviously hasn't been sealed in properly. The plaster is getting so damp that it is crumbling and will more than likely need the whole thing re-plastering.

I am having to scrub the walls and ceiling with disinfectant every fortnight or so at the minute. I've borrowed a dehumidifier to run during the day and its collecting one drop a second (330mls in around 7 hours so far)
Anybody know who I could phone to try and get this seen to? I don't want to pay a fortune so would rather try sort it myself if i can. We are planning on sealing the window this weekend but don't know if it will be pointless?
ETA: I am desperate to decorate but i don't think duck egg blue goes well with mould!! >.<
