u/Timbuktu_Bound

My house had hairline cracks (old victorian house) and my builder chose not to cut multiple v shaped grooves to apply tape. Instead he applied sikabond SBR directly onto painted walls without removing the existing paint then fixed a fibreglass mesh (pink one) over it and added a single layer of plaster. He has since left and I’m now left to finish the job.

I’m unsure whether I should continue from where he stopped or strip everything back and start again. My concern is that in one area (chimney corner) the mesh has already come loose although the rest of the wall feels fairly solid. I’m worried it might fail over time?

Any advice would be much appreciated
