Probably covered in the past, but I can't find a thread that matches..
Basic problem is there is a long crack which has developed in my daughters bedroom. which runs straight across the ceiling and does a 90 degree turn to run into the chimney/fireplace. This has got substantially worse of late, but I only just noticed as I am never in the room and she is abroad improving her education...
The loft above is floored, and the front bedroom has no cracks, but the stairwell shows a small hairline crack in the ceiling which is in line with the one in the bedroom. The loft is used for storage. but not to any great extent and anything with any obvious weight in it has been placed over a weight bearing wall. The area where the crack has developed has very little load over it.
Question is; is this something serious, or something that I could cover up with some specialist stuff from Homebase or B&Q??
