There has been a crack in the render in the living room for the last 4 years, since I moved in. I've finally got around to renovating that room and just taken down the render and plaster and found a crack approximately 1.2m long as shown in the pictures. It's a 1930's terraced house.
It seems logical to me that because the crack does not go down to floor that it is not subsidence, but I don't know much about this stuff.
I'd appreciate thoughts on the seriousness of such a crack and remedies, is it in the realm of a DIYer, or should I get in the professionals and get a survey?
To my understanding it is a weight bearing wall.
On further examination of the photos it looks to me like the brickwork on either side of the crack might be different, anyone agree with that?
Thanks.
