January 24, 20215 yr Hi I live in a bungalow dorma and the 2 rear bedroom have a hair line crack on the two outer walls and both sides of the inner wall (which is between both bedrooms) all cracks are in about the same position and run vertically from floor to ceiling and looks similar upstairs in the dorma would this be structure damage from the dorma. Appreciate any help
January 24, 20215 yr The cracks are fairly small and are probably cosmetic, although it looks like they have been painted over before. Have you had any work done that would cause them?
January 24, 20215 yr Author There was a dorma built about that was in 2005 Iv had the house a few years now but Iv not done any work only hung a tv on the middle wall thanks for replying it looks like there are similar cracks upstairs in the dormer as well.
January 24, 20215 yr May well be the dormer settling or moving - very wet weather and timber can absorb from the outside and move slightly. They seem small enough to be down plasterboard joins
January 24, 20215 yr Author All downstairs is solid walls as it was built in the 50s but upstairs is timber
January 25, 20215 yr I would simply fill and re-paint. If they come back then investigate further. For now i wouldn't worry.
January 28, 20215 yr Author I took away a bit of plaster and the crack looks about 2mm but this would be on 2 other walls that all line up together would this be an issue
