Looks like I've had a historic leak in the bathroom. So far this is the only rot I've found. Would it be reasonable to cut out say half the depth of the joist, piece in a new section and then sister either side to add the strength back. I've ordered some boron gel to cover everything in after.
The joists are 7 X 2.5 inch, and only spanning 2.5m, if they are the originals then they're 166 years old.. There is no bounce at all to the bathroom floor.
