Hi All
I have a problem which hopefully you guys can help me with.
We bought our house in January this year and the gable end wall was rendered 8 months ago by the previous owner due to damp, (our house was built in 1850). We noticed that the rendered wall seems to have hairline cracks all over it like a crazed pattern (jigsaw puzzle) which seem to be getting wider.
This is apparently a meshed system where the mesh is bolted to the wall at key points and then the render is attached to this.
I have attached a pic so please feel free to take a look and comment.
Do you think we have any comeback on the contractor to put this right or is this normal? The house is definitely not moving which he said was the possible cause for this & certainly not in an 8 month timescale since the render was applied...
Thanks
