I live in an concrete house, between mine and next door there is a thin gap 1cm max, front and back, is this right? As my neighbour is convinced this isn't right and will have it filled in tomorrow.
The walls were formed using steel shutters into which was poured the "no-fines" concrete.
Must admit. I have seen a few of these properties, but? could the 10.mm. gap be there to allow for a sort of expansion gap?
As for this "gap"? how far back into the concrete wall does it extend? I cannot see this gap extending too far in to the party wall, how would a steel shutter be removed?

Given that large concrete floor / foundation slabs need to have expansion gaps I would image that vertical slabs such as walls would also need expansion gaps between them.
Hence an expansion gap could be essential between two concrete walled houses.
