Abbey Wood - Repairs to Minor Cracks

CRACKING

We identified a number of cracks to internal and external walls of a storage garage and internal office and corridor All descriptions are written as if the reader is facing each crack

Office Building - Internal

The main central corridor which runs north-south from the reception is formed with stud partitions and lined with plasterboard on either side. Regularly spaced at 1200mm centres along the corridor walls are c.1mm vertical cracks to the internal walls which align with the c. 1mm horizontal cracks to the ceiling. The cracks align with similar cracking on the reverse side of the walls, within the adjacent rooms. The most significant crack is located around half way along the corridor and also spans across the internal and external walls within rooms C15 and C16. The rooms adjacent to the central corridor are showing the same cracking to both walls and ceilings. GARAGE: To the front, left hand and rear elevation is diagonal cracking within the brickwork, with cracks wider at the top than the base. It is likely the foundations

were undersized for the soft ground conditions, however, there is no sign of progressive movement.
