Horizontal crack

[Olican]

Evening fine folk, hope everyone is well and safe.
Been asked to evaluate the render on side of this house. The render is solid but has a crack from corner to corner. Few other houses showing stress but no sign of subsidence or settlement issues. Lack of expansion or belcast along the apex maybe a problem. Would avoid a complete hack off.
Any thoughts chaps. Crack runs right along floor line .

Whats it on pal brick block etc

I done a lot of research into cracks this year oli and think you’ll find it hard to know why, it could be so many things but I wanted to ask is this a new build extension with 7 newton blocks anyway?

Horizontal cracks if mesh not overlapping

 

[Kinkyboy]

Easi fill it

I would hack it all off needs a thin coat system if you can very hard to tell without seeing whats going on its a big area with no expansion

 

[Kinkyboy]

Hack off and mesh the f**k out of it

 

[malc]

it looks as though there is a second horizontal crack a few blocks lower. most probley the bricklayers day joint.
i have seen BEDEC paint will cover a crack as long as the crack is not filled. have a look at their web page.
if you want to render the wall, Parex Parinter , it is designed to adhere to a painted surface. full mesh lay on second coat of Parinter and rub up.

or an extension on top of a garage?

Fit brick stitch bars into it zig zag and double mesh with a thin coat system.

Heli bars only if structurally s**t surely see what you mean though all needs to come offan see whats going on were all guessing

thats why they will choose the BDEC paint.

Dunno what is it mate that does away with a crack like that

 

[Wezly]

Wall ties corroded and causing hydraulic lift is generally the cause of horizontal cracking. If that is the case they'll need removing and replacing.

I recon your on the money with that.

 

[algeeman]

foooooking Google

 

[FreeD]

Walls ties...check if issue with other houses in area or expansion (would like to see movement joint on that gable)

 

[essexandy]

What a load of fannying about. @zombie solved this way back. Choice of black or white cable and clips.

I’m no renderer, do you push the mesh in the first coat or nail it up before? Only asking out curiousity. Not about to try and attempt it!

@Olican i think this would make a lovely alarm clock/calendar for somebody

So ull put scratch on then push it in,then maybe just a little fly over the top for added depth,then scratch when ready..cracking stuff is render mesh
