@pythonstarter, No worries, you certainly weren't rude. As I read your comment however, you seem to mostly agree with my answer. We both identify moisture as a probably factor. Ultimately, my answer is simply: Removing the cause of the problem rather than the problem itself is the only real solution, then I give one possible cause and a possible solution.

Sorry James I don't want to be rude but this isn't good enough answer, but it's really not your fault because OP didn't provide us with enough details. There could be many more things which are causing a mold. My first suspect is that there is no thermal insulation which is causing humidity which leads to mold...we need more details in order to solve this and this is or could be big problem. | |

I do this once a year and it never gets too bad. However, Never paint over it. Once it's trapped within layers of paint like that, it's game over. | |
