Hi,
i am building a small kitchen extension.While removing some render from an existing wall I noticed two vertical cracks, about two meters apart. One crack is about 2mm across and extends upwards from the top of the DPC about two meters.The wall is solid block and was originally a single storey extension, subsequently built on to give an upper floor. (planning and building regs obtained and approved)The crack does not extend below the DPC to the brickwork below. Is this something I should investigate further? should I repair the cracks?
Thanks to all for any help/comments.
