Mould

If you kill the spores and there isn't any damp in the wall itself then it really does just go like that, especially if there's adequate ventilation in the room (this is the big issue really). We discovered pretty bad mould behind a bookshelf with c. 200 books on it and you really can get rid of it quite quickly if you follow the right steps. Even the books are quite easily restored, you just need to hoover the stuff off.

something i learned today. thanks matt!

tbh i think i might have a mould problem too... i see trees on every wall

Dont know whether to move or not. Indecision time.

Hmm. Unmanageable black mould on a bathroom ceiling. The property next door doesn't experience the same problem. We have an extractor fan (albeit a slightly rubbish one) and leave a window ajar permanently. Wondering if this is likely to be our own stuff (ie condensation) or a sign of a slow leak or similar from the flat above?
