Side wall of 1900's Victorian terrace has plaster / paint peeling. Presumption was due to poor and dated flashing on roof which has since been fixed.
I have started to chip away at the paint and plaster to reveal a render which has these rusty coloured pin holes which is where I am presuming the moisture is / was coming in. Has anyone seen something similar?
Does plaster need to be removed for the wall to dry out and if so how long would that take?
Also would it be worth putting some sort of sealer / waterproof primer on the internal wall before plastering?
