Why Mould Returns After Cleaning Stoke-on-Trent Bathrooms

 

🚿 The Frustration of Bathroom Mould

If you live in Stoke-on-Trent, chances are you’ve battled with black mould in your bathroom at some point. It appears on ceilings, grout lines, and around windows — and no matter how many times you bleach or scrub it, the mould always seems to return.

But why does this happen? The answer lies in ventilation, not cleaning.


🦠 Why Cleaning Alone Doesn’t Work

Cleaning products can kill surface mould spores, but they don’t fix the root cause: excess humidity.

Bathrooms are the most humid rooms in the house. Every shower or bath fills the air with warm moisture. If this air isn’t properly extracted, it condenses on cold surfaces — creating the perfect conditions for mould regrowth.

So even if you clean weekly, the mould will simply reappear because the environment hasn’t changed.


💨 The Role of DMEV Ventilation

The real solution to recurring bathroom mould is proper ventilation.

DMEV fans (Decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation) run continuously at a low level, then boost automatically when moisture levels spike — for example, during or after a shower.

This means:

  • Humid air is removed at the source

  • Condensation on ceilings and grout is prevented

  • The bathroom stays drier and mould cannot regrow

Unlike older fans, DMEVs are quiet, efficient, and compliant with Part F of the Building Regulations, making them ideal for modern homes.


🔍 Other Contributing Factors

In addition to poor extraction, bathroom mould is often made worse by:

  • Cold ceilings or external walls with no insulation

  • Blocked trickle vents on windows

  • Drying clothes indoors

  • No heating during colder months

We assess all these factors during a survey to ensure the right long-term fix is in place.

FAQs

Will mould ever go away on its own?
No — without moisture control, mould will keep returning.

Is bathroom mould dangerous?
Yes — spores can aggravate asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems.

Can I just open the window instead?
Windows help, but DMEVs provide continuous extraction — especially useful in colder months when windows stay shut.
