On my extention a few pads were made and a pre-stressed lintel put in place. I think the builders did this so that the foundation did not go through my gas and water main.
The lintels are place like an L shape.
Now I'm left with an exposed lintel which I plan to cover over with soil and stones.
What I don't want to do is allow the soil to always keep the lintel wet and on the otherside of the lintel there is an end of steel exposed which I do not want to rust and eventually breakdown.
Is there anything I can paint this with to protect the concrete for the long run.
