Hi
We live in a 1930s semi which has a double storey rear extension.
Recently we have noticed lots of small hairline cracks all through the house on the walls and ceilings. Also small cracks round door frames and gaps in floorboards and under skirtings are appearing too. There don't seem to be any external cracks in the brickwork, although there is cracking to the render at the rear of the house.
Does this sound like subsidence? We had a structural engineer round to have a look and he assured us that the cracks were nothing to worry about but I'm sure all this movement can't be right surely
Does it sound more serious?[/list]
