So downstairs has been damp, I think just from it being left alone for so long. It made the carpets damp and mildew-y so we took those out, painted the floor, bleached everything that even looked like mold got the place smelling a lot better, but still something remained.
The last thing to try was the old sink cabinet. I had feared to get too far into that as it was nasty, but the time came and it seemed a drain had dripped at some point, or a pipe but either way the mold was serious on the particle board and was so thick it was like flock. The board itself was so rotted and fragile that it couldn't easily be picked up as it just crumbled like weetabix.
I sawed and cut thing to pieces and threw it out, turns out that the box supports the sink so I quickly put some of it back whilst I improvised a support, crude but it works.

| Years old and damp particle board is not robust, but at least the mold had something to eat |
