Default Treating condensation damp patches on chimney breast...

One of my chimney breasts has a few smallish damp patches spoiling the decoration (painted plaster) and I seek opinions on how best to deal with it prior to redecorating.

I'm pretty sure it's condensation onto salts in the brickwork from fires over the years.

So what do I do to it?

TIA

Jim K
