Hi guys
4 bed detached. Downstairs kitchen ceiling is coming away from the coving.
If I get someone to walk in this area in the bedroom above, I can see the ceiling moving slightly up and down (enough to have caused this cracking of the interface between ceiling and coving).
I am therefore thinking joists. This is along the long width of the house and not gable end. Is there a wall plate that would be fitted to the inside of the outside block wall, off which the joists hang? Just seems very close to the wall where it is happening.
Also seem to have some nail heads starting to show on ceiling.
