Re: Cracks which reappear......

Hi Mark To be honest I have just taken photos and monitored them, nothing major has happenned it's just annoying as soon as you fill and decorate they gradually open up again even with 'flexible' filler. I haven't gone down the road of structural engineers etc it sounds a whole can of worms. There w...

The reason why the cracks keep reappearing after you fill them is because you are using a band-aid method. Just covering them up won't provide a long term solution. You need to find out why the crack(s) is there in the first place. Could be a settling or foundational problem. Some cracks appear dur...

Boiler losing pressure needing topping up

We have a 10 year old Ferroli Falcon II which we had installed. Historically we've had problems like this before, last time I think it was the expansion tank needed to be pressured. We have the insurance cover with Ferroli but they now charge if the problem isn't boiler related. We currently have a ...

Hey Chris, thank you so much for taking the time to look and reply, I feel a lot better now :) First the trees, the sycamore had been lopped, it was just the trunk no foliage which remained, it was around 9 feet tall. The guy who removed it took it away to be shredded or chopped or whatever tree peo...

Hi Chris, thank you so much for your reply. I am beginning to get paranoid about the cracks, I have of course googled pics and other items re subsidence and have become a bit obsessed of late which isn't good you're right there are loads of houses with unexplained cracks. Thanks for your thorough re...

Hi Tidy Thanks for your reply! I assumed it would be the tree taking moisture from the clay soil then as it rehydrates the cracks close? Getting an inspector....I doubt that they would come out, I had all on getting them here when I paid for building regs 3 years ago, and then they came when I wasn'...

Seems that hundreds are viewing this site but hardly anyone helps/replies, wonder why that is.....

Does anyone out there have an idea how much a structural engineers/surveyors report is?

Thank you for your responses. I am trying to avoid getting a report, mainly for the cost implications, I wouldn't think you'd get much change out of £500. I think the Victorians had he right idea with their coving and thick lincrusta wallpaper! Style of kitchen doesn't lend to coving, particularly a...

Cracks which reappear......

Hope someone out there can put my mind at rest. Lived in 1930's semi for around 10 years. The small kitchen always had hairline cracks on the ceiling and above the door, no external cracking. I hoped the extention would cure the problem when most of this external wall was removed. In 2007 we had a w...
