1) Signs I might have a poor ventilation problem

Mould growth on the bathroom ceiling is a big give away that the existing extractor fan system you have is either faulty or deteriorated. If you haven’t got an extractor fan, I highly recommend one. Other signs you might have noticed are paint work bubbling, black spots above the shower or mold growth in the corners.

Some homeowners in Bradford comment on windows and walls constantly streaming or having to get the squeegee out to wipe down the tiles.

2) Why is mould growing on my bathroom ceiling?

Many homeowners across Bradford experience problems with mould growth, especially in the winter. Customers do comment on how often they need to clean the walls and windows every time they have a hot shower. Steam or hot air often collects in rooms where there is poor ventilation.

In most cases, damp bathroom ceilings and mould growth is linked to faulty extractor fans or the absence of one in particularly wet rooms such as shower-rooms and bathrooms.

3) Problems with mould growth

You might start off thinking why is mould growing on my bathroom ceiling? But if the problem is not seen by a ventilation expert such as myself, you might experience more severe problems. Mould growth has been linked to allergic reactions in individuals which could manifest as rashes or sneezing. Mould can also be problematic for individuals with breathing problems such as asthma.

Have you ever tried to clean off mould growth? It’s not easy and you’ve probably spent quite a bit of money on harsh, cleaning chemicals.

Mould growth can also leave surfaces looking a bit grim and cause damage to sealant, tiles and paintwork.

4) What can I do about mould growing on my bathroom ceiling?

As an experienced electrician, my advice would be to consider installing a modern extractor fan if you haven’t already got one. Where you do have a fan system, it might be outdated or have damaged components which affect its fan like performance. It might be worth upgrading to a more energy efficient extractor fan.
