There were no rust stains or visible rods. To the left of this area the wood grain was very evident and no cracks. I am leaning towards spalling. I did not take other pics. It was like this in an area on the opposite side of the house to. I thought it looked like spalling and advised them verbally that it likely needs parging before it gets worse, but I am now writing the report and wanted to get some opinions to help me out. Thanks
