I've finally got round to chipping off the cement render on my 1800s terraced gable end.
When the property was renovated 15 plus years ago the internal chimney breasts were removed which at the time seemed to be a good idea.

I'm now regretting that as now while chipping off I'm following a crack in the render which is revealing some dubious looking stonework and missing stov
ne pieces.


Before I go any further would it be wise to fill in the void with a cement or similar slurry type material to bind this void and outer stonework together ?

Any other ideas would be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17908&Focus=302614#Comment_302614 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17908&Focus=302614#Comment_302614 Wed, 26 Jul 2023 12:28:52 +0100 Davycrocket http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17908&Focus=302621#Comment_302621 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17908&Focus=302621#Comment_302621 Wed, 26 Jul 2023 15:23:32 +0100 Peter_in_Hungary
How thick is this wall? If it is 9" does the crack go through to the other side?

Is the rest of the gable OK as viewed from the inside (probably not rendered there) and are there any other cracks evident on the render?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17908&Focus=302629#Comment_302629 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17908&Focus=302629#Comment_302629 Wed, 26 Jul 2023 19:29:09 +0100 tony
