I've been doing some work to ventilate my loft space due to excessive condenstation during the winter and its obvious that some of the timber frame members have developed some sort of rot due to damp.
I was wondering what type of rot this is and what is the best way of:-
A - stopping it spreading. Is there a product I can use to treat the surrounding timbers?
B - treating the damaged timbers?
I have had a scrape and I can chisel back to solid wood after about 35mm - would it be feasible to cut out the soft / rotten wood and replace?
Sorry for all the questions, any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks
