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....


So you've got 2 layers of strangely coloured bricks and 2 layers of
plaster... all in 2"????

Regards, NT
