bedroom damp

[Des 56]

You probably could do with a Dry air unit mounted in the attic with outlet perhaps on the landing to provide positive ventilation

I had a mate who had terrible trouble trying to remove damp from beside a bay window,all sorts of remedies were tried with the building fabric,none had any effect
I had fitted a few of these for the council(I have one left over somewhere :wink_smile: )I was sceptical about these units because the action is so simple.
After installing this unit he had no problems ever since

Exactly, if the problem still exists after (if) you tried a dehumidifier, the solution is to get yourself a Dry air unit, (Dri-Master can be purchased through Nuaire) basically it sucks in air and goes through filters which takes away the condinsation and then blows clean dry air through house, if you need any help or more infomation on the Dri-master pm me

If it is a mold growth usually in the corners and down the wall, assuming you are 100% sure its not caused by leak etc then you can try to remove it yourself if it is only surface, but be warned to wear a breathing mask thats rated for fungal spores..... i had this down wall and on ceiling due to now air flow around house (old house new double glazing).. the way i treated it was bucket of soap and water with cup of bleach in it and wipe down the effected area letting it soak in a bit, if the mould isnt too deep then it should kill the mould but the causes need to be identified as mentioned already; lack of air circulation may be a suspect. If its deep into the plaster then possible it will need replastering to be sure you got it.
While this black mould exist it can be dangerous as it causes all sorts of ill effects from wheezing to lung infections.

If using a portable dehum to do a 1 off drying out of the room, it is a good idea to also use an air circulator fan in the room. This will speed up the process by circulating the dry air from the dehum around the room.
