cracked ceiling

dunroving

I had two bedrooms with cracks/blown plaster just like that in my last house. I figured it was due to either (a) poor workmanship by the plasterer (turned out the guy was dragging people from another business, and the job was rushed), or (b) the fact I was riding my bike trainer in the attic. ;-)

thanks for your advice everyone. I will fill the gap this weekend. and will get a roofer to have a look at my roof.

thanks both do you think its urgent to repair the slate on the roof? do you know if its expensive to ask someone to fill the gap and fix the roof?

We don't know how urgent the slate is because we can't see in your attic or onto your roof, but it's not something I'd leave long with winter approaching.


As others have said, it looks like blown plaster, so if you are not disabled, filling the cracks is an easy enough job. (See you Tube) I'd only worry if they opened up again soon after being filled.
