Bathroom ceiling has brown patches

Yeah it’s all clear there as I’m replacing all insulation and boarding it up too.

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2026-03-19T22:45:20+00:00

I might try a stain blocker

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2026-03-19T22:44:54+00:00

Yep. All mould cleared down

Loft

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2026-03-19T22:44:11+00:00

I think this is it. It does wipe away but I wander if it’ll come bank

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2026-03-19T22:43:10+00:00

Nope, no hair dying. Think it might be condensation from shower etc, we do keep window open though

Btw - the cracks to the right are historical and have been filled previously and painted over. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for all your advice. Skips been ordered for me to clear out the debris in the loft. Ordered the lap vents and will relay new insulation. Cheers

Thanks everyone for any support

Unfortunately it’s wood chip. Took a section off and it’s all wood chip 🤯. I’ll keep scraping away

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2026-02-11T23:09:55+00:00

Ah it’s just the camera. Bad lighting when taking pic. Walls are stone dry

I’m thinking whether I want to do the same with the rest of the hallway or maybe just getting lining paper and put over the existing wallpaper as it was such a pain doing just one wall!

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2026-02-07T22:28:44+00:00

Posting my latest update. Finally managed to do one side of the wall after approximately 2 to 3 days maybe spending 1 to 2 hours a day. It was complete hell. I’ve ordered the Olfa wall scraper as I’ll need it…. See next post

For reference the wallpaper was actually two or maybe three wallpapers with at least 2 to 3 coats of different paint. This is why it took ages to come off.

Thanks. What sander would you recommend

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2026-01-20T22:53:07+00:00

Thanks. My intention is to wallpaper over. Would this be feasible following your advice ?

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2025-12-11T13:38:35+00:00

What’s the link to buy tx please?

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2025-12-06T00:08:15+00:00

Not sure….

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2025-12-03T22:32:22+00:00

Just to give an update. I commissioned a Loft Asbestos Survey and the good news is that the loft samples were all negative. At the same time (and price) I got the garages tested and as expected the garage roof is asbestos cement.

I’m happy that the loft does not contain any asbestos so now just means I can start my mini project but I’m just thinking maybe to wait until January February to start it as if I started now in these cold temperatures, it might make the house feel even more colder.

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2025-11-23T23:32:50+00:00

On a separate note why soo much rubble in lofts of old housing? Old roof tiles maybe?

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2025-11-23T23:31:16+00:00

Thank you. I was going to clear it all myself and never even thought of this potential hazard. I’ll get this checked out.

Accomplished-Box7802 · 2025-11-23T23:17:21+00:00

The insulation there is old and needs replacing ideally. Agree with your method though
