Painting walls and ceiling in bathroom

[5oysterman2]

Another way is looking at installing an inline extractor fan, I know you have a fan installed but if you have space above in the void/loft these are three times the power of a wall mounted bathroom axial fan. As they are installed outside the room they are just as quiet too.

Vortice Inline Duct Fan is an extremely powerful bathroom extractor fan which is energy efficient and very quiet. Very powerful and very quiet.

This will extract a lot of air at a similar energy usage rate of a bathroom fan.

Bathroom is under a sloping roof & I couldn't get into it. Not enough clearance.

I agree.

If you have access in the loft above, it could be much better. You would have to install a duct from the bathroom and out through the wall.

No clearance above.

Are the walls so bad you have to cover them with lining paper?
If you're going to paint over it maybe see about replastering the walls instead otherwise the paper will become subjected to condensation.
You can use specially formulated bathroom paint - Wilkos do a good range - but for preventing mould you need a paint for that and won't be able to cover it afterwards.

I know it's not a long term solution. The wall is pretty rough, so it's just tarting it up for a short while.

A short while?
....until it needs to be done again.
If you're about to move house, i suppose it'd work out but if you want to paper the walls you could use a decorator's varnish which helps protect the wallpaper.

No clearance above.

So do the best you can with a wall fan. Either a small one running for long periods, or make a bigger hole and fit a six-inch.

Ahh okay, sorry for delayed response. A powerful wall, axial bathroom fan will have to do then. I see somebody else has already recommended The Envirovent SIL100, which I would 2nd!! Great fan, lots of different variants too.

Fitted that one last week, definitely an improvement on previous one.
