  • Need a bit of guidance on how to deal with a crack thats appeared on a recently plastered wall.


    We've had damp proofing done and a fresh coat of plaster over the whole room and this crack has appeared where the guys cut away the old plaster to do the work.
    I'm not the most confident decorator but I reckon I could give this a bash. Whats a good filler for this job?
    Many thanks in advance

  • I'd go with whatever Airhead suggests, but I'll just add that for the cracks in my living room where there was movement (we are near the overground which doesn't help) I scraped out the cracks with a shavehook and then filled with Red Devil One Time.

    I think I'd be a bit disppointed if I paid someone to install a DPC and this happened. I guess either there's been movement or the plaster has shrunk. The radiator may exacerbate this.

  • Yeah, I was pretty peeved when I first noticed it. Called the guys out that did the DPC work and they pretty much said that there was nothing they can or will do about it.
    Really appreciate the advice its a massive help @Airhead @rodabod
