I need to extend an internal wall but only by about four inches. It sticks
out into a kitchen and needs to be a bit longer to reduce the doorway gap.
It is built from some form of concrete block, more a cinder block than
thermalite and the end of each alternate row is a single upended brick.
The finished wall will be plastered. As far as I can see there are several
alternatives.

1 – Cement an additional column of upended bricks to the end.

2 – Chip out the upright bricks and cement in bits of thermalite block so
it continues to be interlocking.

3 – Screw a piece of timber to the end with spacer pieces to ensure it is
in the right position. Infill with brick/cement. Then put gauze over the
new section before plastering.

4 – As 3 but hack off all the plaster and plasterboard in one go.

What does the team think would provide the best solution.

If you leave a hollow column, then it can be used as a riser for
cables/pipes if this is of use.
