Is there a solution to cracks on internal wall which have already been plastered?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.40 PM
My property is 130 years old and had cracks in an internal wall which I was told were due to historic movement. I had these replastered 10 months ago and now they are re-emerging. Is there a permanent soution to this? Would the use of plasterboard cure it? r mclachlan

you could try slimline metal stud and boarding, or you could try webbing & skim,the rolls of webbing are around £60.00 there normally used in with k-render.

If the cracks were the large in width, the use of helibar stitching should have been carried out prior to replastering. If they were only hairline, scrim tape should have been applied.
If the above were carried out, then I would suggest involving a structural engineer. Sounds like it is still moving.
