We are doing a lot of quotes & cleaning for ceiling mould, here is some info and some solutions If the whole ceiling is covered by a fine layer of mould, then it is probably not a roof leak. If there are patches of fine mould around the cornices with no brown staining – then it is just a damp room. Not a roof leak. Dampness on a ceiling is a good attraction for mould growth. In the winter time, ceilings are prone to dampness because room heating and the presence of our warm bodies send warm moist air upwards. This moist air hits the cold ceiling (more pronounced on ceilings that are not insulated) and forms condensation. When mould spores are around, they migrate to the moist environment and thrive. Very quickly, they multiply and soon you have a fine coating of mould all over your ceiling. Some rooms are more prone to dampness. Bathrooms and bedrooms are the worst because they are more private and are often closed and unventilated. The solution to damp rooms causing mould growth on ceilings is to make sure that you have good ceiling insulation. The insulation keeps the ceiling warmer in the wintertime and there will be less condensation. The room needs to be ventilated. And it is very important to kill off the mould effectively, remove it and apply a good quality ceiling paint.
