Advice please - cracked render

[Jamie Tobias]

Hello

To be quite honest, leave it as it is. Anything further you do to repair those cracks, will stick out like a sore thumb.

Thanks - any ideas why it might have done it in the first place?

Looks like movement/settlement cracks.

 

[Jamie Tobias]

Is that a concern?

 

[Jamie Tobias]

or is it more like thermal movement/settling as the house was new?

The very same as Darrington said.

Thanks for your replies. What I was trying to ask is that is this normal settlement or subsistence? I don’t know the difference as this was my first house and I’m no expert here.
