Hi Anne, firstly you will need to diagnose the cause, ie' rising damp, condensation, broken, leaking rainwaterpipe, there are many possible causes. Decoratively you should wash the area with diluted bleach, rinse off and leave to dry. Once the areA is fully dry, stain block it with a polycell or zinsser stain block paint and decorate it how you would like it. Andy A.L. SMITH DECORATING SERVICES

You will need a fungus/mould killer solution diluted in water, then id stain block the area twice with a named stain killer then emulsion over the top as many times as required again.

Hello Easy way is to wash it off. I would assume you would not want just a temporary solution and if the above will work will depend on how long was the mould left to grow, if you have a wallpaper on the wall , how deep has the mould grown in to the wall/plaster or if you have a leak problem?

What would you like to do now?
