The area above my window got a MASSIVE crack going along it. It was due to the metal lintel inside being disturbed, causing plaster to crack.
A reputable plasterer repaired it. About 6 months later, and it looks really odd, like almost rusty, or rotting. Is it damp maybe? We sanded it once and painted but it's happened again.
The cladding outside is due for replacement by the freeholder this year. Maybe it is damp due to rotting cladding or an issue there? Any ideas? I'm a bit lost about what this is.
Far away view - can see the outline of the previous crack:
