Natalia L Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hi, We discovered that the ceiling in our kitchen has traces of mould growing through plasterboard. I was wondering if anything could be done apart from replacing it. Is it possible to add an anti-mould reagent to the plaster mixture? Would using a special anti-mould paint (such as Suretherm Thermal Anti-Condensation Paint and/or Zinsser’s Mould Resistant Paint) be enough? I'd appreciate any advice.

joe90 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I think you need to establish the cause of the mold first, leakage (internal or external) or lack of ventilation. Kitchens tend to be like bathrooms producing lots of moisture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2016 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 You can buy a sensor to measure humidity and see when it's highest. Vent as much as possible, open windows when cooking etc. Make sure exhaust fans / extractor hoods vent to outside and not just into a cavity. Does a lot of steam build up in that area?
