Cheers for the info @PhilDAS out of curiosity as i've had numerous steel frames over the years and this is the first i've had issues with would a consumer be expected to re-apply frame saver to a steel frame or would it be something you'd have done professionally?
@M_V I seemed to remember there were breather holes in the stays but may have been mistaken as I don't have the frame in front of me.
With regards to the paint that is as the spray shop had started work on the frame and then spotted the issues and ceased work on it.
I spotted no issues with the frame when dismantling it and the seatpost / bottom bracket etc came out easily with no noticeable rust.
In searching my original e-mail chain with the frame builder I found their terms and conditions which does mention their warranty doesn't cover rust or if it has gone for a respray.
Guess this means i'll probably have to let this one go which is a bitter pill to swallow but thanks everyone for the advice / input.
