Stripped plaster away (Wall now moves slightly!)

[DanRubino]

Hi all,

Got a question for you guys, Ive just finished stripping tiles out of the bathroom wich resulted in most of the plaster coming away with them.

As a consequence, ive had to remove all the plaster right back to the bare wall. Now the wall (an upstairs non load bearing wall) is made of single layer breeze blocks.

It all stripped away nicely as the plaster had almost all come away from the breeze blocks anyway. My concern is that when I now push or wobble the wall lightly I can see movement of the wall. i.e. it wobbles ever so slightly.

Is this something to be concerned with as it is a non-load bearing wall and I intend to fully plaster board and re-tile it.

Have any of you got any advice on this?

Im planning to wire brush the wall, chisel out any remaining loose bits of morter and then refil all gaps etc i.e. holes in the mortar + the gaps between the breeze block wall and the ceilling boards.

After that im going to spray with diluted PVA (allow to dry) and then plasterboard and tile the wall.

Does this sound like a good course of action in this situation?

Thanks
Dan

using real slate wedges between moving and moving masonry can help, also spot dabbing plasterboard will help stabilize the wall provided at least 40% of the board is fixed to non moving masonry.

i meant to say moving and NON moving masonry! sorry to confuse.
