non load bearing walls cracked...

charliee_3

Hi all, just a bit of advice needed. Our house is from 1968, semi detached, estate type house. I have noticed that every non load bearing wall in the house is badly cracked like the plasterboard is crumbling..
is this normal? should i worry about it? it doesnt show too much with the paint, etc on the top, but the walls are very uneven when you look at them properly. Nothing was mentioned about this in the survey and i am sure he would have seen it as he seemed very thorough...

there are no visible cracks on any of the load bearing walls or ceilings, just the stud/ plasterboard ones..

weird..

any ideas? I am really hoping it wont involve stripping them all down to the stud and replasterboarding them!!???! :eek:

probably just the joins in the PB. they need some scrim putting on the joins and maybe the whole walls skimming over.
the cracks are just due to expansion and contraction of differing materials. common in modern houses esp with CH systems.
