Mould on Walls and Ceilings — The Proper Paint Solution
Painting over mould without killing it first just feeds the next outbreak. Here's how we actually solve mould in coastal homes.
Why mould keeps coming back
Mould feeds on the cellulose binders in standard paint. Wash it off, repaint with the same paint, and it returns within months. The fix is killing the spores first and then specifying a paint with an active anti-microbial.
The proper 4-step mould fix
We use this on every bathroom, laundry and south-facing wall in Tweed.
- Kill spores with a dedicated mould treatment (not bleach alone)
- Rinse and dry the surface for 24 hours
- Prime with an anti-mould sealer like Zinsser Perma-White primer
- Two coats of a kitchen-and-bathroom acrylic with anti-microbial
Ventilation matters more than paint
No paint system fixes a ventilation problem. If a bathroom doesn't have a working exhaust or a laundry doesn't dry out between washes, mould will eventually win. We'll flag it on the quote when we see it.
