The good news is that there isn't a defect in the structure of the property - i.e. it won't be rising or penetrating damp. Black mould will only grow on moisture which is created internally, and is a problem which now affects 1 in 5 homes. Ask a ventilation specialist for a free survey, they will be able to recommend a solution which will come with a money back guarantee that it will cure the problem. Kind Regards
