Black mold on bedroom ceiling

[LeeUK]

My spare bedroom ceiling (north facing) is covered in black mold. It is only in this room and not in the other rooms. It only started growing since I had uPVC windows put in 6 years ago.

What is the best way to treat it and to stop it coming back?

I would check to see if its superficial and just on the surface, if that is the case. You can scrub it off.

I think it is just on the surface. I had loft insulation fitted couple of months ago and they never mentioned that it had gone through the ceiling into the loft at all.

Stop it coming back? Look at your ventilation and insulation.

Had loft insulation fitted so should be warmer this winter. Might have to start opening the window for a few hours a day too.

Windows don't have trickle vents. Will need to check loft insulation but this mold has been there long before it was laid.
