Chris, Once you ascertain type of mould or Fungi has Chris advised then you know if a tradesmen is required and if so I would try a Plumber first. Bill Pipe Dreams Plumbing Services Bournemouth Can be found on the Web

If the mould is black it can only be caused by condensation. If it is green it is not mould but algae caused by water penetration or leaking. Very easy to diagnose from that. Condensation can only be solved by ventilation improvements. I have recently had success with Ronseal anti mould paint , it contains chemicals that prevent mould growth, they say for six years, we'll see !
