Hi there,
after reading another post on cracks, it has prompted me to ask about the two that have appeared in my house. I live in a mid terrace (block of 5) and we have in the lounge at the front of the house two crackk appeared about 6 months ago and have slowely grown, they go from floor to ceiling but not upsatirs.
They are tiny hairline ones, so does anyone thinj thay maybe serious or waht is the best way to cover them, as i tried filler but doesn't/hasn't worked as reappeared.
The house is 20+ years old, and plasetered it would seem straight onto brick, with a concrete floor downstairs
Thanks in advance for any help/advice or reassuring

Have your walls just had a quick re-skim? It's common for hair-line cracks to appear in re-skimmed walls as the plaster is far thinner. Otherwise, subsidence?0

Our house was built in 1904. We skimmed the wall and small hair line cracks formed- got some paint from B&Q called "No more cracks" did the trick on ours!
Just painting over in paint didn't work.0
