Combating Damp

I can't say I was particularly thrilled to be faced with this challenge but when given a task I'm always one to attack it with gusto.  I think the photos speak for themselves...method used; LOTS and LOTS of neat bleach, central heating on full and doors and windows wide open.  Basically for any damp problems just remember three fundamental things - clean it, heat it, ventilate it!

The kitchen ceiling, wall and extractor fan were
heavily coated in thick black damp spores

It took almost two hours to get this clean

bedroom wallpaper....

....was too far gone to clean....

so, after several hours later; paper removed....

...and walls were cleaned ready for painting

under this window, the mould had developed...

but after a few hours of scrubbing with
bleach and some ventilation cleanliness was restored

In this corner we again added neat bleach
and left it for a few hours...

....added some muscle power to reveal a nice clean corner
