  1. Thanks for everyone's replies. It's put my mind at rest. I'll treat as described and deal with the condensation issue. It's a 19th century midterrace with double glazing and painted exterior brickwork. It also had bitumen coated on the inside of the roof slates when I first moved in so the was very humid. I've replaced the roof and have felt under slates now so it can breathe now.
  2. Yes it's condensation, I'm going to improve ventilation and put a dehumidifier extractor in the kitchen as well (I forget the name for it). Thanks I'll do as you say. I'm a bit of a worrier!!
  3. Hi, I know very little about construction so any advice would be appreciated. My plasterers have uncovered an rsj supporting the first floor internal wall and the rsj is showing surface rust with a couple of patches of deeper rust caused by condensation. I have given it a brush with a wire brush and will use a drill with a wire attachment .It's not flaking ect . Can I treat with with rust converter x2 and red oxide x2 or is it a bigger problem and need replacing? They plan to stick the plasterboard on with moisture resistant foam. I will address the condensation problem. Any advice appreciated.
  4. Hi I have just exposed this beam in my house. It was clad in wood and condensation has got to it .Should I give it the same treatment? Rust converter and red oxide or replace? I catastrophe most things so any advice appreciated.
