Cracks appearing

[kerry123]

Hello I have cracks appearing all over the house I think it might be the plaster cracking.
It has been done over 7 years ago and was cracking then but being a single mum I haven't had time or have a foggy what to do.

The big one is in the cupboard that came after my neighbour did a loft conversion.

Any help would be appreciated.

Plasterboard I guess? The cracks are in straight lines following plasterboard joins.
Normal to get cracks above windows and door at the top corners.
Also I can see stress cracks that start and stop with a bit of a curve. Thats the surface plaster being stretched with movement.

Buy a box of toupret powdered filler.
Scratch out the cracks a bit bigger to allow for filler.
Fill in.
When dry 120 grade sand.
Paint over
That's the easiest way and see how long it lasts

Plaster board on the bathroom yes i had jt kncoked through it used to be a seperate wash room. some of the others are meant to be plaster or new plaster.

It was my grandmas house and when I bought it everything needed doing and let's just say I've been done over on most of it the electrics the plumbing the painting.

So if there's something wrong with the plaster I know wouldn't be surprised.

Thank you ill try that.

Just movement I think.
Straight joint cracks are normal. I tape mine when they show but that's a bit harder to do.
Just fill yours.
The stagaaed stress cracks you have is house settlement, so fill and see what happens.
If you got problems the bad cracks will keep coming back
