  • Very similar to what happened to our bedroom bay window during the storms last year. Massive water ingress through failed external frame seals, which saturated the masonry and continues to dry out through to the interior surface, resulting in sopping wet plaster.

    If this has happened in your case, no amount of dehumidifying is gonna sort it unfortunately; it’s a plaster-off job :(

    Make sure the window is well-sealed externally first tho.

  • Thanks for the insight. Hope yours is sorted now. We’re wondering about replacing the window longterm as the lower pane is defective anyway.. Next week looks dry so I plan to jump up a ladder and take a good look at all the external seals. We’re in Cornwall so it rains, a lot.

  • Ours is still fucked, massive damp patches all around the bottom of the bay window. Gotta wait until the main building work is done, then move all our crap out of the bedroom and deal with it properly.
