Realised we haven't been in the guest bedroom for about a year apart from searching for the cat, so didn't notice some mold forming in corners. It backs onto a wet decking area.
The worse affected corner is an alcove with some batten shelves. I guess the outside also is where the partition fence is drilled into the exterior wall
The other corner has quite hollow sounding loose plaster that on closer inspection someone has tried to cover in the past. I think there's also a fence drilled in there acting as a block to stop you falling into the alley below.
I'm not expecting guests any time soon so I want to turn it into a proper home office rather than the makeshift setup I have at the moment.
What's the best solution here to not have to deal with mold again as I'd want some books in there and don't want them damaged. I'd also have cameras and lenses etc stored in there.
Don't wildly want to replaster but if it comes to that it's possible. Was hoping something like dry the place out, scrub it all clean, patch any cracks and then paint with magic anti mold stuff? But obviously if the issue is caused by holes from the fences then it'll return. If I'm in there I imagine the temp would go up. There's a large window/door that can be opened fully.
