Cheers for the replies all. I've been scraping off some of the patches. Couple of observations: in some places the plaster has tiny pinprick black dots on it. Fairly sure it isn't mold, but what could it be/does it indicate where a problem might lie? Also - I discovered that where the paint...

I only have one picture of pre painted room and it's a bit where the paint has mainly gone on okay - but how wondering if it hadn't dried out fully? Looks bloody awful this morning. The very thin bit of paint on the patches no longer runs off, but won't take anymore paint

I did about 60/40, but where the patches are I can just scrape it off while other places it is fine. One wall that was just skimmed is almost perfect, but there are a couple of very small patches that won't take any paint vs the mess in the pictures

I've had a bedroom plastered (ceiling and Walls). Finish didn't look great, but plasterer came back and said it should be fine when painted. Done a mist coat on all of it today and there are patches everywhere that wouldn't really take the paint. When I tried a second mist coat later it took...

Thanks - doesn't appear to be damp from what I can see - floor looked okay when we took it up. Its an internal wall with both sides damp proofed/re-plastered 4 years ago. If its not Dry Rot - what is the dust? - just old wood that has totally rotted/hidden being the frame (and presumingly...

Its an old tiled floor - no floorboards/direct onto ground. We had the carpet done a few weeks ago and didn't see and signs of a problem then (although equally didn't notice a smell/probably would have dismissed a small bit of brown/red dust at that time). We'd painted the surrounding walls...

Not sure if anyone can help. I've just prodded a hole in our hallway door frame and the bottom is rotten. As per picture a lot of brown dust has fallen out and there is a mould odour to it. I think I'm looking at dry rot although praying I'm not. Frame is next to an internal wall we had damp...
