i have several walls susceptible to mould growth, black spots. having
eliminated the majority of the cause of the damp, i now want to strip
off the paint on all the internal walls, back to the plaster, then
repaint with an anti mould paint.

wickes do one for 9.99 per 2.5l, own make, home base do a branded one
in a red tin for 24.99 which seems a lot.

can anyone recommend me a product for the job? also does this anti-
mould paint have to be the only paint on the wall or can you paint
over it?

oh and i forgot to ask, when removing the old paint (a lot of it is
just peeling off), whats the best way to remove any paint which wont
peel easily? heat gun? chemicals?

Take a look at 'paint' and 'mould proof paint' articles

If its a very old house, you're less likely to get damp problems if
you use a more porous paint than modern emulsion, such as a
distemper.
