    Default Re: thermalite walls

    Personally I don't like thermalite blocks they move to much........

    I would be tapping the walls to check there not any hollow sounding areas on the plaster, if there are remove that bit of plastered wall.

    Use a one coat plaster to fill or prime and use a rapid cement based addy to fill.
