Basically we have a crack on the porch wall where it meets the main house (the porch was built after the original house). The vertical crack is on the side wall on one side only. We were getting some plastering done on the inside of the porch, and when the plasterer guy took off the loose plaster in that corner we found there is a small gap between the porch wall and the main house wall. There doesnt seem to be any wall ties on this side (but there are some on the other side).
The crack was hidden by the previous owners of the house by wallpaper - which we have taken off. So it looks like it has been like this for sometime.
Do we need to get the wall tied in? or can the small gap just be filled in by a bricklayer and then plastered over afterwards?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
