    Crack in the wall next to hall cupboard door frame
    Hi,

    I have a crack from the ceiling almost to the floor in the wall next to the hallway cupboard door frame. Because of the crack in the wal the door frame is loose.

    I doubt filler will resolve the issue as it's won't secure the frame. The opening and closing of the cupboard door will probably loosen the filler.

    How do I secure the wall in place?

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks

    Rebecca
