Hi all, after a surveyor coming to my house to have a look at my walls for cavity wall insulation he noticed a crack on my extension single story. I've never noticed this before the crack starts from about 6 inches on the pavement that butts upto my extension, and goes all the way to the top.

where the crack has started thats the location of the speed hump, im end of terrace so speed hump is the width of a pavement away from my property.

There is alot of vibrations whenever vehicles pass over the bump, do you think all these vibrations are the cause of my render from cracking? if so i will be making formal complaint to council to fix these issues.

I will take photos later on if anyone can give any advice will be greatly appreciated

thanks

You will need to be on the ball regards proof on this kind of issue.

Before and after photo's, dates, impartial written comments from a structural surv£yor, etc.
 
hi thanks for the reply, i've sent them a letter so they can come and investigate it. sooner or later the render will fall off as its v loose atm. are they allowed to put a speed hump as close as 60" away from my house wall?
