Hiya,

Firstly, apologies, you'll have to bear with me, i'm a complete novice

I've got a 3 bed semi, and upstairs the door frames are coming away from
the
wall... I have done some minor investegation and the plaster has cracked
and come away, as has some of the "light brown" bricks behind that and a
very small amount of the "grey" bricks behind them. They appear to have
just become dry and crumbly and broken up...

Can anybody tell me why this has happened and suggest any ways to fix/stop
it happening again? I know you'll probably need to know more, so please
just ask.

Oh also, the wall in question is about 2inches thick and the part in
question is the end of the wall that is in between 2 door frames at the end
of the wall... the other side seems to have gone too, but i havent pulled
it all off yet. It doesnt look like its been wet either....

I suggest you rephrase the whole question so that it draws a clearer
picture. It's not at all clear what is going on. 2"-thick walls and
two door frames at one end of the wall don't make a lot of sense. And
where does the water come into the equasion?
