Mouldy bathroom ceiling
Advice needed please. Tiny bathroom ceiling gone mouldy again. Had it skimmed which has gone mouldy, damp and now section over bath shower is falling off. Think it’s lath ceiling. Only problem is we had new marble pvc panels fitted around the bath section with new bath, toilet sink combination cabinet in 2023. The plumber fitter done a poor job of everything. The panels were cut too short below the sloped ceiling. No idea how a plasterer can fix a new ceiling to the panel height finish. If to risk the mess of ripping down the lath ceiling? If to use moisture resistant plaster board ? We have extractor fan on bath external wall next to a window that we open. Steam moisture just stays on ceiling. Don’t have time to dry wipe down walls and ceiling after shower daily. Broken 2 karcher from cleaning up wet moisture. Previously used mould resistant ceiling paints which didn’t last long. Which plasterboard method would resolve and fix mould bathroom ceiling ?

Metal corner beading showing through cement render
I've just had the render replaced on the front bay of my victorian house and the metal corner beading is still showing through, is the right? The builder is telling me it's ok but I'm not convinced. Would really appreciate some advice, thanks!
Uninsulated Brick wall plastering
Hi. Looking at getting my external walls replastered on the inside, the original horsehair lime plaster is coming away as we've replaced the windows. What would tradespeople recommend to replace with? I am hesitant to use hardwall due to the fact its a double brick skin and will carry some moisture naturally and needs to breathe. I have found this product: https://proofshield.co.uk/product/prooftherm-insulating-render-plaster/ which we are considering using Thanks
