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

Replacing the roof should not have involved any lintel that holds the brickwork up, IMO that crack looks old.

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.

Smoke alarm is too close to the corner.
