Cracks to worry about?

Featured Replies

Sorry for the newbie question but should I be worried about these cracks? Also the bottom right one looks like someone has tried to do something to/with it?

Keep an eye on them and if they get no worse it should be ok.

 

If that wall was going to crack then these would be the expected locations.

Most/ all walls crack but it is hardily noticeable. The white render emphasises it.

 

How wide are they? (pound coin is the definitive indicator)

 

However, assuming the walls are masonry, I would expect the cracks to follow the shapes of bricks/blocks/stones.

What do you know about the construction, and if these are old or getting bigger?

Any coinciding cracks inside? It could be just in the render.

Nothing lost informing your insurance company. Keep a log of photos. 
 

I like monitoring either with brass screws and vernier gauge or proprietary movement monitors, this is best done monthly over two years then make decisions
