Mould on ceiling/wall

Hi
There is a small patch of black mould (presumably from condensation?) in one corner of my bedroom (where the painted ceiling meets the wall).
I presume it IS just condensation that is doing this - and not some exterior fault on the house (as this is a corner of the room on the window wall).?
Anyway - what is the best way to remove this please (and bearing in mind that the wall has woodchip wallpaper between the plaster and the paint - as its an old wall, so wasnt good enough to just slap the paint straight onto the wall).
Thanks in advance.

Ceri,
Assuming you have made sure you have no roof/gutter leaks etc
I use loads of this -HERE, expensive to buy singularly but I buy 2-3 boxes at a time.
there are LOADS of others out there, some are cheap and effective.
Look at the label though, if it says sodium hypochlorite or has 'hypochlorite' on the label OR if it has a black cross in an orange box, then there's a good chance it's just overpriced bleach!
The product I use ticks the required environmentally friendly box that the housing associations i work for demand.
Hope this helps
DDThe advice I give on here is based on my many years in the preservation industry. I choose to remain anonymous, I have no desire to get work from anyone. No one can give 100% accurate advice on a forum if I get it wrong you'll get a sincere apology and that's all:D
Don't like what I have to say? Call me on 0800 KMA;)0 -
Thanks very much.
I'll check that website out - and yep..ticking the right environmentally-friendly boxes is important to me too:)0
