Ok iv got two problems with my house currently:
ONE: The upstairs front bedroom walls are shifting from a 1-2 mm crack sloping from the ceiling near the outside walldown to that front wall, it doesnt cross the corner onto the front wall but thre is a smiliar crack smaller on that wall, they are not connect but both have caused the wall area above them to shift outward.
oddly the side wall crack is mid terrace above the stairwell and is also next doors wall so its odd it would shift against their house. should i cut it back and rerender with some mesh?
TWO: downstairs we blocked off the chimney a while ago, over the last 6 months or so the bottoms of both sides of the breast have started to move outwards from the floor up about a foot. the skirting boards are popping off due to the shift, bit more worried about this.
all advice welcomed, im ok with plastering and rendering but im not a bricky. thanks
