Hi,

I have been having issues for years now with mould on the bathroom ceiling. The batroom window is open most of the time, there is a functioning extractor fan that automatically comes on when the shower is on and reamins on for about 10 minutes afterwards but none of this helps.

The ceiling is virtually impossible to clean and I have painted the ceiling on multiple occasions with bathroom ceiling paint to no avail, is there anything else I can do?

You seem to be saying that the mould comes back, not that you cannot clean it? The window needs to be open more, or more heating to dry the bathroom.

Ventilation will help

That one is over £400! And operates at 22 - 36db

We have one of these in each bathroom  £150 each, no pull cord but at only 12db, super quiet. It comes on (even when the light is off) whenever the humidity goes over a certain level.
