BATHROOM GUIDE

5 MINUTE GUIDE

Steam, extraction and bathroom mould

Bathrooms create large amounts of moisture quickly. The window, extractor, room temperature and surface finish all influence where that moisture settles.

Look at the whole room

Mould on the ceiling may relate to steam and a cold surface, while growth beside a shower, on silicone or around a window may need a different surface decision. Photographs should show both the mark and the room layout.

Check extraction

An extractor needs to operate, move air effectively and discharge appropriately. A noisy fan, blocked grille or short run time can be worth checking, but electrical or ventilation work must be handled by a competent person.

Different surfaces need different work

Painted plaster, grout, silicone, timber and porous boards are not interchangeable. Some materials can be cleaned and treated; failed sealant or damaged porous material may need replacement.

Decoration comes after treatment

Loose coating is removed, the quoted surface is treated and allowed to become suitable before compatible preparation and bathroom paint. Anti-mould paint is one part of a system, not a repair for continuing water entry.
