Am having a structural engineer check on this issue next week but just wanted to see if anyone here had any insight into this matter.
It's a detached property in which the roof is being completely replaced. A survey showed the roof needed extra support and roof thrust had occurred causing minor cracking on the front walls on the first floor.
Our builder removed quite a few roof supports at the front of the property to fit in new beams at this point the front walls on the first floor cracked. There are two tapered cracks which starts around 2 feet from the floor and at the top the crack is around 25mm wide. There are no cracks present on the ground floor.
Below is a photo along with a plan of the property with a red line marking where the cracks are positioned.
Any info on how major of a job this will be to fix would be very useful.
