Hello,
apologies if this subject has been covered before - a search threw up no answers.
We have recently had a retaining wall built in our garden. Finished just before Christmas. Yesterday I noticed one of the bricks was leaching bright yellow dye - they are reconstituted stone blocks in a Cotswold shade. Looking closer I found that there is a soft patch in the brick which is crumbly, moist and a very bright yellow. My first reaction is that we have a bad batch of blocks. Have any of you come across anything like this before? I have noticed bright yellow spots on other blocks as well.
We will contact the firm who did the work but would like an idea of what we are dealing with here.
Many thanks.
