jaywalker Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 OK, I don't know the extent of your problem. But do first try own remedies because specialist will be x10 cost or more. My mould was fixed 1. by trip to our outstanding Dulwich DIY. They have a specialist spray (about ?7 a bottle, not cheap) which kills mould and it doesn't come back for a while. You will need several bottles and perhaps a face mask. 2. I had then to repaint wall where mould was growing (damp coming in from outside) with anti-moisture foundation, then mould resistant undercoat, then paint (they advise what). This with a de-humidifier should do the trick unless you have rising damp. Total cost a great deal less than any specialist visit, and quite satisfying to do.If you see any mould (like little dark spots or bubbles in paint) subsequently, it needs to be sprayed immediately. The mould is quite dangerous to health if not treated.

Charl70 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi I'm a damp proofer , with mould and condensation the problem will be either lack of air flow , or the wall where the mould is showing is very cold , if that's the case then you need to have the wall insulated from the inside or hack of the infected area and waterproof sand and cement ,if you want me to pop over and have a look give me a call Dave 07932505589 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/134610-seeking-a-recommendation-for-a-mouldcondensation-specialist/#findComment-1082435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
