Four years ago i had an rear extension built to my detached property. The house is built on a raft foundation however the extension was built on a piled foundation, as all extensions in the area have been done. Unfortunately the house has gradually moved over the four years and now is showing approximately 8mm gap at top joint with extension reducing down to the bottom.
The result of this is that the roof of the extension, which is tied via wall plate to the original house, is being slowly pulled off the extension with cracking at the ceiling /wall joints internally.
I am confident that it is the house moving as i have had it monitored over the time by a surveyor.
My builder and i parted company after having a number of issues and i am sure there will be no helpful advice coming from that quarter.
I would be grateful to hear if anybody has experienced similar problems, or if anybody has any advice.
