I live in a bungalow which was built in 1970 (36 years old) and recently i have noticed cracks at the ceiling where it joins the wall. Also across the ceiling itself and although the wall also has some cracks there is no sign of cracks on any brick/supporting walls. ITS ALL PLASTER OR PLASTERBOARD. I accept there has been a change in temprature....is this to blame? or do i need to pay out for a structural engineer to carry out a report. The cracks are getting bigger on a daily basis but in most cases they are hairline cracks but the ceiling wall ones are the diametre of say 'spaghetti'. PLEASE ADVISE IT WILL BE GRAETLY APPRECIATED!
