Cracks. Structural problems?

[CraigRP]

Hi, could someone give me some advice on whether some cracks around an internal door frame is anything to worry about.

The hairline cracks are on both sides (back&front, left&right) of the door frame.

Those cracks are typical of minor settlement and are very common. I would say it's very normal.

The scary ones are longish vertical cracks of over 0.3mm say that are increasing.

Did you mean 3mm?

Doesn't look anything to be concerned about. Cracks to the corner of doors frames are quite common. Any slight movement in the wall will cause a build up in stress at the corner of the opening leading to a crack forming.

Posting a picture of cracks in isolation, with no context, no details of their location, the construction, their age, or the property age, gets no meaningful comment.

Sorry - yes!
