Hi all,
We went looking at a house this morning which we are interested in moving to.
Nearly all issues we could eyeball were cosmetic, however one thing I spotted in the en-suite (converted from an old bedroom) was the top lip between the wall and the underside of the top of the window cill (hope that makes sense!) was showing some odd spots which appear to me like rust spots bleeding through.
My first impression was maybe a steel lintel was rusting and bleeding through, however as they are more spots rather than marks/runs, I have just had another thought, has anybody seen this type of bleed through with an plaster edge before? If so what would be the best fix. I am guessing removal and a quick re-plaster job available, either that or is there some sort of magic treatment that can be applied before repainting?
