Need some advice on how to fix these cracks properly. House was built in the 50s and has had little maintenance or redecorating since.
Most of the cracks are superficial but some like in the picture below an area of plaster is no longer attached to the brick. So I have removed the floating plaster. What is the best way to fix this, don't want to have to do it again in the near future.
Also, around the hatch to the loft there is considerable cracking, there is movement in the plaster board. I imagine it should probably be replaced. Suggestions on how to do this? Most of the ceilings are pretty good with just minor cracks between boards but this is much worse.
