Default Greying ceiling above boiler

The ceiling and wall/ceiling corner above our boiler is slightly grey
having got that way over some years from previously 'is the ceiling a

There's no CO2, there are 2 detectors in there.

I suppose the sensible answer is get someone in? Or is this normal to
some degree?


Sound like dirt deposited from convection currents to me. Time for some
paint.
