The painted skirtings and facings have all appeared to have shrunk and thus cracked?
What options do I have? Use painters caulk and just touch it up?
How would I avoid this? Paint the skirtings with a rough coat then wait a month till they crack, to then put the finsihing coat on?
i think its partly because the internal walls in the house are brickwork but not through to the founds, they just rest on wooden tracks so theres movement in them, compared to walls that go right through the floor to foundations.
