Hi, I hoping someone here can help as you seem to know what you're doing more than my builder!
We had a new bathroom installed a couple of months ago. The builder replaced one of the internal walls with a plywood wall. Now there is a crack running horizontally right down the length of the wall, and also some vertical cracking behind the radiator.
He is coming back to repair it but seems to think it's just because the wood has now dried out that it's cracked, and redoing it will be fine.
From a bit of googling it seems like this is a common problem with tiling onto plywood so I don't want the same thing to happen again.
What's the best solution please - does the whole wall need redoing or can some kind of more suitable board be put over the Plywood? There's not a great deal of spare space as there's only about a 1cm gap between the units and the wall.
Thanks
