    New Build Apartment Plaster Cracks

    We have an apartment in a large, newly built apartment building. It is a monolithic structure with concrete block dividing walls. The block was covered in plaster and painted. We now have a crack in the plaster a few months later. Our contractor said to wallpaper because plaster walls could crack due to building settling as the apartments are all built out internally. We wanted paint though. The crack basically follows where a channel was carved into the plaster for wiring. It is not one clean crack, but rather a series of many hairline cracks that from a meter or two away looks like one crack. It seems there are many opinions on how to fix suck cracks. I do not understand the best way though. How should I repair it?

    Regular problems with blockage

    Hello. I have lived in my property for a year and a half and since then I’ve had to have my drain cleared 7 times. Waste backs up and has been coming out of my guttering drain. It’s not flowing into the manhole and off into the main sewage line. I’ve had 2 cctv drain survey's done and they see no issue with the drain. My kitchen sink also gurgles and makes noises especially when my washing machine is on. I had the drain that all my kitchen and bathroom water goes to apparently that’s clear too and see no issues. What could the problem be please? Hope I’ve explained this clearly.
