    Assuming that you have and use extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom just use ordinary emulsion - that's what I do and there's no mould traces on my ceilings.
    Forgotten but not gone.
  • Anti mould paint is expensive, I would just use an anti mould paint additive.
    The one I use will cost you £11 delivered and treats 5 litres of water based emulsion.
    I use this 'professionally' and go through gallons of the stuff in winter months
    I can give you the link for the one I use if you want it or alternatively google 'anti mould paint additive'
    The 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

    2 1/2 litre of perma white satin is £26 + delivery from decorating direct
    should be more than enough to do a ceiling
