Frequently Asked Questions | FAQs

Can anti-mould paint stop existing mould?

Anti-mould paint is designed to prevent mould returning, rather than treating heavy existing growth. Before applying it, the affected area should be cleaned with a mould remover or fungicidal wash to kill existing spores. Once the surface is dry, anti-mould paint can be applied to help reduce the risk of future mould growth.

Is anti-mould paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, anti-mould paint is commonly used on ceilings, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens where condensation collects. Applying it to ceilings as well as walls can help create a more complete moisture-resistant barrier.

Where should anti-mould paint be used?

Anti-mould paint is best used in areas prone to condensation or poor ventilation. This includes bathroom walls and ceilings, kitchens, laundry rooms and other spaces where steam and moisture regularly build up. It can also be useful in colder rooms where condensation forms on walls.

What does radiator primer do?

Radiator primer is designed to help paint adhere properly to metal radiator surfaces while also protecting against rust and heat damage. It prepares the surface for radiator paint, ensuring a smoother finish and improving durability when exposed to regular heating cycles.
