plaster crack

Hi all, Im looking for a bit of advice on my kitchen walls. I moved in last year and stripped off a load of old wallpaper and the walls weren't in a good shape. I used polyfilla / toupret and some joint compound to fill and smooth over holes, uneven areas, build up a few places etc. Then put a...

I recently took some wallpaper off a wall. There was crumbling plaster underneath it. It is a big area. It looks like if you put your finger through it then you will go right through the plaster. Is it possible to save the plaster there without having to replaster it? Any thoughts/ideas would...

EDIT - I've also noticed a wider crack on the exterior of the downstairs window and a hairline stair step crack on the ground floor exterior. Images attached. I've already booked a structural engineer to take a look, but I'm curious about your thoughts in the meantime as they can't come for a...

We have fully stripped the old lining paper from 2 rooms in our house. The paper was laid quite poorly and came away easily, however it revealed old lime plaster which has quite a few hairline cracks. I have bought a lime based filler to smooth over the cracks and we intend to just paint this...

Hi all, I am currently in the middle of stripping off pine cladding in the utility room because it looks really outdated and I have come across a few issues with the existing plaster underneath. First off, there are quite a lot of cracks in the wall as it looks like it has been cement rendered...

Hi all, Our bathroom has multiple cracks all over the walls in the paint but also looks to be the plaster in parts as well. It has always done this and we used bathroom paint, we had it plastered about 7 years ago, sealed it etc and it did it again within a year or so. It seems to be mainly...

Hello everyone, I hope that someone here may be able to give me some advice. I have discovered a crack that runs along my outside wall, along the top of my lounge window and I don't know what to do, but need to do something pretty soon as is getting worse. Do you think it might be worth me...

Deep crack on the inside of an exterior wall, running along (pretty much the entire length of the) underside of lintel, above a recessed window. Seems the crack is between the lintel and whatever's been used to finish the wall (plasterboard?) on the lintel's underside - no cracking on outside...
