Jp21 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi all, I had a bay window roof replaced today as it was leaking. When i got home i noticed my smoke alarm had fallen off my hall ceiling. I then noticed some cracks in the wall adjacent to the front door running down to the front door. What do you think has caused this and are they serious? Whats the best cause of action? The windows are pvc. Do you think that when the original windows were replaced they didnt give enough structural support and removing the roof covering/ board has caused some structural movement? Or is it just plaster cracking? Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Replacing the roof should not have involved any lintel that holds the brickwork up, IMO that crack looks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 The mounting plate for the smoke alarm is still fixed to the ceiling. The crack near the door looks like it has been there for years and is harmless. The bay is not structural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Smoke alarm is too close to the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
