Hi, My apologies that I'm not quite posting the way that I should be as I'm not actually planning to DIY this problem - it's way beyond me. But I really don't know who I need to speak to to find a solution, and thought that there would be plenty of experts here who could guide me.
We have terrible mould in our bathroom and bedroom in the outside corner wall. In the bathroom it is clear (at least, I think it is) that it's a condensation issue. We have no window, and an extraction fan in the ceiling which nevertheless leaves the bathroom steamed up for quite a while after use. Do I need to have a window fitted? Or a better extraction fan? Or is there someone I need to get in to advise me? A builder or a surveyor perhaps?
In the bedroom I suspect it's condensation too, but why on earth are we getting it and what do I need to do to resolve it? Again, who do I need to get in to advise me? Our double glazing no longer has a proper seal and it did cross my mind that this might be the problem???
I feel very ignorant, as I simply have no idea what to do or who to go to for advice.
I must get this resolved as the spores have now infected my lungs, despite spraying, cleaning, and painting with mould suppressant paint. I am concerned that my children may become infected too and want to sort it as quickly as possible.
Does anyone know what I need to do / who I need to speak to?
Many thanks
Caroline
