    Mouldy bathroom ceiling

    Advice needed please. Tiny bathroom ceiling gone mouldy again. Had it skimmed which has gone mouldy, damp and now section over bath shower is falling off. Think it’s lath ceiling. Only problem is we had new marble pvc panels fitted around the bath section with new bath, toilet sink combination cabinet in 2023. The plumber fitter done a poor job of everything. The panels were cut too short below the sloped ceiling. No idea how a plasterer can fix a new ceiling to the panel height finish. If to risk the mess of ripping down the lath ceiling? If to use moisture resistant plaster board ? We have extractor fan on bath external wall next to a window that we open. Steam moisture just stays on ceiling. Don’t have time to dry wipe down walls and ceiling after shower daily. Broken 2 karcher from cleaning up wet moisture. Previously used mould resistant ceiling paints which didn’t last long. Which plasterboard method would resolve and fix mould bathroom ceiling ?

    Leak through bathroom light fitting

    Hello, I live in a flat and the flat above me had a burst pipe in their bathroom late overnight and water poured down through my bathroom light fitting into my bathroom for over an hour or more I would say. A plumber came out and has fixed the leak and the water has finally stopped coming through my light. I've turned off the power for the light at the mains, it is one switch for all lights in the flat. I wanted to check how long should I let the power stay off for to dry out the light fitting and should I avoid taking a shower in case it adds extra moisture or would that not be a problem? The light fitting is a 4 bulb spotlight fitting so I don't think any water actually got into the electric wiring part it was all coming through gaps around the bulbs. Thank you in advance

    Can I hang louvered doors in front of an open stairway?

    Hi all, I have a bedroom loft conversion which is entered with an open stairway (approx. same height as a standard door frame and was hoping to have louvred doors as the entrance to the bedroom. Would it be possible to hang to louvred doors in front of the staircase? I would like to have them hinged centrally to be bifold – as the landing space would be quite small. Would this require a full door frame for the louvred doors or is there any other options? For example, could I hand them off the side of the wall or attach to a wooden baton for the hinges? Thanks Han
