Applying anti mould pain onto plaster
I have a patch of mould in a bedroom. I’ve had it checked by a damp specialist who says it’s to do with the temperature of the external wall not penetrating water or other causes of damp. I’ve treated it with mould killer but can I apply anti mould paint directly onto the plaster or do I need to do something else first?

Avoiding headaches when painting
I’d like to perform a DIY paint job. However, I do sometimes get headaches when working with paint. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Is this a sign that I should simply avoid undertaking paint jobs by myself? In this case, should I just hire a professional? If I wear a mask, could it prevent the headaches from occurring or is it better to avoid it anyway? It’d be great to get some guidance on this area as I’d really like to get some paintwork done soon around the house.
Advice on garage floor paint needed
Can I use leftover wall paint to paint my garage floor? If not, would it be ok to use it if I add a layer of sealer on top to protect it? Alternatively, are other types of garage flooring better and more long lasting like carpeting or tiles? I’m open to all suggestions
