hello,
I live in a 1950 semi and recently started decorating the spare bedroom. The plaster was in a fairly bad state so i had the room re-skimmed just before Christmas.
Since doing so, I've noticed damp patches appearing in the bottom concerns of both window reveals when it has been raining heavily - I hadn't noticed this before, however, i strongly suspect its been happening for some time masked by the old wall coverings.
I resealed the window frame (raking out the old sealant first) over the weekend, however, again today the damp patches have returned......
There is no sign of any damp other than in the very bottom corners, to it must be coming in somewhere around the bottom of the frames.
Any ideas?
