First post, but a long time lurker on the forum.
Currently having our first house replastered and moved onto the living room, we have noticed a hairline crack in the lintel behind the old plaster when we broke it away.
For reference, the lintel is 2.8m long and there is a wood frame window/door in the opening currently, the house is ex council, suspect around 70s.
I assume it's been like that for a long time as the house hasn't been touched in years, all artex, old backboiler and 80s/90s patterned wallpaper etc. Plasterer reckons it'll be fine, just curious on other opinions.
Many thanks.
