Why does my new extension have a crack?

30/10/2019

It may come as a surprise to many people that it’s common place for newly built extensions to get cracks. This occurs because of movement between the ground and the wall.

​The movement in a newly built extension takes place over a period of time and can affect various places. Settlement cracks can occur in the joint between the ceiling and wall.

​Even if your extension was only built a short while ago, hairline cracks are totally normal – despite being infuriating!

The weather and quality of materials used in your extension are determining factors of the severity of cracks seen in your walls and ceilings.

Most minor cracks can be repaired by someone with a DIY attitude and a fresh coat of paint. For more severe cracks, it might be advisable to re-plaster and redecorate. 

We empathise that paying out more money to fill in the cracks is the last thing you will want to do. We recommend that you wait at least a year before tackling the problem, as further cracks may still appear.

If you built your extension less than a year ago and the sight of those cracks is driving you mad - get in touch! We can come and assess the damage and book you in to be seen in a few months’ time. This will give you peace of mind and time to allow any further cracks to appear.

Give Redbridge Plasterers a call on 020 8088 0926. We carry out plaster repairs across many areas of Redbridge and East London.
