So I moved into my house In September last year, and since November sort of time I've noticed that my cellars got a real issue with mold. It's an old house, built in 1906, was a 2 up 2 down with a medium sized cellar that covers about half of the ground floor,which has has a small room, corridor and a stair case.The house has had a kitchen extension and a loft conversion done if that makes any difference. It's been looked after over the years, but has some issues that I'd expect with an old house like un-even floors, crap wall consistency etc. But all in all it's in pretty good condition. Now I'm not expecting the cellar to be bone dry, i only really use it for stuff like storing/fixing my bike, storing stuff for the tip, keeping paint etc etc, but I'm pretty concerned about this with having a 3 year old, and another baby due in October, as i can't help but think the spores can't be good for the kids..
Is there any one on here that has any experience or suggestions? I considered just sticking a respirator on, brushing it down and bleaching the walls but i can't help but think thats not such a good idea haha.. Would it be a good idea to call in a mold specialist?
I've taken a few photos of it:
It's also making the plaster on the walls go to shit and exposing the red brick underneath it.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks in advance.
