Hello all,
I moved into a 1980's built house a couple of years ago and had the windows replaced with UPVC double glazing windows. Over the last six months or so I've noticed cracks appearing around the window between the main body of the window and the wall of the house. A picture is provided in my album entitled kitchen window to show an example showing a crack in the kitchen window. These cracks are only really a couple of mm wide but scatter at various points around the window. In the bedroom I noticed a lot of the plaster flaking away around the window.....
My first question is really what is causing the cracks?? i.e is this normal due to movement of the house, or do I need to worry that its something more serious....?
Secondly what anyone would recommend to repair? any particular products?
Any information anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rob
