Damp Chimney Breast

[Superflysi]

Looking for advice regarding damp chimney breast. Plaster knocked off DPC injected, re-plastered and dry zoned. Customer has painted over too soon. Should I advise to sand off the paint or will it still dry out but over a longer period?

Put fire on will sort it

Rain may be coming down the stack. If so it will need a cowel on the chimney pot.

Not your problem is it. Good to be conscientious though.

Painted too soon myself before today.

Job was plaster and paint and I didn't want to wait for that lovely money.

Fear not. If it's emulsion, it'll just dry out
