CathS Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Can anyone help with some advice about a wall. My sons bedroom is next to our spare room. It's a partition wall between them. One side has developed a big bulge and you can see its cracked as if the plaster has just popped out. Is this something that can happen with old houses? We do have a bedroom above (loft conversion) and was worried it was structural but the ceiling is fine, it's just the middle of the wall and if you press it you can hear the plasterboard moving.

carosio Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Presume it's a solid brick wall and not a stoothing partition? Old houses usually are brick partitions, but with plasterboard mentioned probably a hollow wall. Is other side flat and normal looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathS Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 I dont think its brick, think its wood. Other side is flat as normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm no expert and can't comment further, but I have seen plaster board "buckle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 There's plenty of info on Google under "drywall bulge/buckle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
