I moved into a 1930s semi 3 years ago and have been working my way around renovating the place.
Things are going well but I am noticing enlarging cracks in the bathroom ceiling where it meets the outer walls, and some hairline cracks in some of my replastered walls in other upstairs rooms.
what could be causing these cracks and is there anything I can do to get rid of them or stop them?
nothing came up on the survey that was done when I bought the house regarding movement/ subsidence etc. although the house is on the side of a hill which slopes away from the back of the house
what about wall ties? what are the signs when they need replacing and is it a costly job? (I dont think it would be a DIYer)
