crack

There is a plastic pupe running up the corner of my living room that is chased into the dot and dab wall, it was almost at the surface at the top and caused a big crack. I’ve repaired the crack for now with toupret filler but I’m wondering if there is a stronger method I can use where it is very...

I had some replacement PVC windows installed in April this year, and since then we have had a crack appear in the painted over pebbledash underneath the top bay window. I have now noticed just yesterday some new hairline cracks in the interior of the top bay window that are diagonal in nature...

Hi, We have a fireplace around a gas fire and the white micromarble back panel now has a thin crack that starts at the corner of the cutout for the fire and runs for about 15 cms into the back panel. The panel is plain white with only light speckles in it so it's not like the crack is hidden in...

I know it may have been the worst job a carpenter has made to my house. Got old stair post clad with 10mm timber and gaps was filled with filler. This keep cracking when season change and temperature in the house rise. Would be good to open the gap between the 2 timber and fill it with...

Hi all, We have had an offer accepted on a house, but are concerned there is structural damage. The home is a deceased persons home, so their solicitor is acting as executor. There has clearly been previous tests for subsidence, but apparently they have no documentation or reports relating to...

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any idea what the source of this cracking might be? It's a 1960's house with brick walls at ground floor measuring 300 mm thick, the first floor (front and rear elevation) is rendered and measures around 260mm thick so i'm assuming it's a different walling...

Hey, noticed this appear recently wondered if it looks abit dodge? Cheers.

Hello, I am a FTB and offer has been accepted already. During the building survey, the cracks have been mentioned in the report and I am not sure how severe this is and how much this would affect in terms of cost and the structure of the property, safeness, etc. Two storey extension towards the...

Please see attched photos of one side of the extension. The other side is exactly the same. The extension was built 3 years ago and has been fine up until now. I would appreciate any thoughts on potential cause, and what are the next steps.

We bought the house 3 months ago.I only noticed the crack today. Had a home buyers report from a surveyor, nothing mentioned in regards to any issues with the conservatory. Not sure who I should approach on this? Contact the surveyor? Home insurance? Next door neighbour has a conifer tree...

I have the following close coupled toilet and the ceramic cistern has cracked. Tenant say it happened by itself. Looking at the crack is this believable or do you guys reckon is due to some accidental or other impact? I understand cisterns can crack over time due to temperature changes or...

I had a fence put in our back garden with a pretty heavy gate, which has most/all of its weight supported by a single fence post. I just noticed the post is starting to split. Is there anything I can do to fix and/or better support this? I'm thinking it's not going to support the gate much...

Happy Easter all, I am currently redecorating my bathroom and I am trying to repair a crack in the ceiling. I discovered that the crack was due to the board moving and this was due to the original plasterboarder using a ridiculously small piece of scrap timber to increase the joist width and...

I have a window with a crack that ran years ago when the wooden frame expanded a little and I had to force the window to close it. It's never run any more and there is no shelling. Is there any fluid/ glue I can put into this to asthetically remove the visual effect of the crack and bond it.

1950s terraced house, ex-local authority, generally solid as a rock I noticed some cracks today, might have been there forever, I never looked for them. The first picture is under the front downstairs window, right in the middle (horizontally and vertically), so on the oposite side of the...

Hi, We've been looking at moving house and due to budget, we've been mostly looking at houses that need a bit of updating. One of the houses we really like has a long, horizontal crack in the lintel above the downstairs living room window. It looks like the stone that's cracked might just be a...

Hi, we bought a house on a new development 2 years ago, the house was a couple of years old at the time, so is now around 4 years old. A crack has now appeared in the render above the front door. I have approached a company to see if they can repair it but, based on the pictures, they have...

Hi I am trying to decorate a room in our new house which is on the first floor of a 80s double storey extension. I have found a lot of blown Plaster on one wall particularly. The would have been the original external brick wall, I'm guessing is blown because of what it was applied to. There's...

I have recently bought a house and looking at the pictures I've noticed one of the uPVC window boards was cracked (see attached). Can I just pull off (carefully) the window board and replace with a new one? It feels like it is just a cap stuck on to something else. I've read you need to do this...

I recently noticed a crack in a wall which is under our chimney stack. I can't tell if this wall is supposed to be supporting the stack or not, but right now it isn't. The wall sits on a wooden lintel which half rests on the brick for the stack and the other half across ceiling joists (I think...
