Outdoor newly rendered wall showing signs rustings on the edges
Hi there As part of landscaping project, we had new raised plant beds built using grey blocks which were rendered using sand and cement with appropriate additives. We painted it once rendering completed.The edges of these beds where beads were put are now showing sign of rustings that are gradually appearing and growing through the whole length of the beads. The landscaper says it may be paint reacting and we can use stain blocker paint to prevent. Can you advise probable cause and potential remediations for the same please?
Internal wall repair
Having removed wallpaper I found a patch of plaster approx 50cm x 50cm which I assume was a previous repair was lifting away from the wall. It’s hollow behind and a hole in the plaster allows me to see the masonry behind. If I was to remove the plaster seeing as its coming of the wall anyway, can I use a masonry / cement filler to fill and level it off prior to getting a professional to skim the wall? Would I need to waterproof with blackjack or something similar? Thanks J

Log burner recess plastering
We have had our living room skimmed and we are getting a log burner installed. We have had the face of the wall with the recess skimmed and we were going to restore the pre-existing bricks, however the angle bead has been placed into the recess and is visible against the brick. Is there a way around this - we have been advised a return will be placed to box the metal in, but we’re worried as to how obvious this will be. Thanks!

How can reappearing hairline cracks be hidden?
Hello all I’m sure some of you have had this issue yourselves where cracks show up on walls, but I’ve had some reappearing hairline cracks along some of my walls, even after repainting the walls. I had previously filled these cracks using compound with coats of paint on after – but they still show up again in time. Is there anyway ways that I can resolve these recurring hairline cracks? Any advice would be appreciated on this!
