Compared with the fun I had on the radiator, this job was a piece of cake.
Under the tub on the external floor joist where the pipes exit the wall, I noticed some flaky wood. No discolouration or mushrooms growing from it so safe assumption that it is wet rot. Not quite sure what was causing it as I left a piece of cardboard over the areas for a week and it was perfectly dry. So likely to be from the previous bathroom installation.
After checking around the surrounding wood, the damage looks to be pretty minor just a 2 inch section and not too deep. Regardless, thought it best to call in Captain Ronseal ..
This stuff soaks deep into affected wood and makes it rock hard and prevents future rot from occurring. There is a couple of window sills that could also use a visit from the Captain, but that will be the subject of a future post. So painted on, let it dry and hopefully, problem solved.
