Hi guys
Recently started decorating preparing for an on suite bathroom. Upon removing the wallpaper came across this crack In the wall. The crack is not just in the plaster but also in the underlying brick work. I've checked out side the house on the external walls and there is no visible cracks that I can see. I want to plaster these internal walls, but I need to know if I would have to repair the crack in the wall first..i.e. Removing all the old plaster filling the cracks and the re-plastering over, or would I just be able to plaster over the existing wall seen in the image.
Any information would be greatly appreciated as this is my first home and I'd like to make sure I get it right first time
Thank you!!
