Hi all,
Firstly please excuse my lack of knowledge of anything DIY. I've just moved into a new house and noticed and number of cracks in the ceiling in various rooms. They mainly travel across the middle of the room and some have other cracks at a right angle to them so they mark out an oblong on the ceiling. Most have been painted over so appear to be old but the ones in the master bedroom are newer. The old owners recently had a new window fitted in the bedroom so I'm not sure if that is related.
Am I right in thinking this might be caused by the joins in the plasterboard on the ceiling?
Is there anything I can do to check if they are something more serious or should I get a professional in to check.
I've attached a photo of one of the bedroom ones.
Thanks in advance
