Hi all,
Bought a 3 bed semi, 6 months ago and carried out a full refurb.
The property had damp, so we were advised to do the old, 'hack the plaster of to 1 meter' job and then sand and cement with intergal waterproofer render before skimming.
This was all done by a plasterer as well as re-skimming the whole house.
Now were moved in, I expect hairline cracks here and there, but what I have noticed is a horizontal hairline crack, right around every downstairs room at the height the plaster was hacked of to. Further to this there are other hairline cracks apperaing here and there in the plaster, again upto the height of the render.
Should the joint between the render and the original plaster have been skrimmed, as im not sure this was?
Any other thoughts, or ways I can repair the cracks would be appreciated.
Cheers
Allan
