Hi all,
Am having small bedroom replastered at the weekend.
There were some areas of dodgy render that I am removing ready for the plasterer to apply bonding over before skimming.
I have found a very loose breeze block at the base of an internal non supporting wall. The wall is only about 1 foot wide and is situated around the door frame. It sits on floorboards on joists and extends up to the ceiling. The house is 50's ex-council.
As you can see there is a hefty crack. It goes right through the block and I can wobble the block about 2 to 3mm of wobble. I don't want to pull it out incase the internal wall collapses. Do I repair with mending plates and pack some mortar in? Or do I call off the plasterer and call a builder in?
Many thanks
