Hi folks,
I'm sure several people on the forum will know what I should do....
On a stormy night, I checked all the rooms, and found a small stain on the wallpaper at a join, and on the ceiling above it.
It was traced to flashing on the chimney which has been sorted out, and the wallpaper dried out perfectly. However, there is a slight stain on the ceiling which is only 2 years old, since it was replaced during a building job.
The stain is so slight, you can't see it from the door, but I think if I paint over it, the stain will come back.
Can anyone confirm this, and if so, is there some sort of sealer I need to paint on first?
