Skim coat hairline cracks a year later
Hello I need some advice I got my house skimmed last year the guy done a terrible job finishing not great Anyway I had all the walls painted etc . I have now noticed a year later every wall and ceiling has cracks appearing . When you knock in these areas it feels hollow . What could have caused this ? Would this likely get worse over time ? My concern is I make the cracks bigger use flexible filler and repaint and the cracks or more re-appear I am absolutely gutted !

Plastering over a damp wall
Hello. I have a problem with what I believe is penetrating damp on an internal wall. There is no damage to the skirting or the lower part of the wall. The damage seems to be just above waist heigh and is slowly creeping horizontally. It looks like it's just the skim which is falling off. Underneath the skim looks to be cement plaster?. (It's grey and rough) There also seems to be salts being produced making the plaster fall off. What would be the best way to deal with this so I can redecorate. The wall in question has tiles on the opposite side as It's a dry cleaners which originally didn't have tiles and I believe that the tiles are pushing the moisture through to my side of the wall. I really appreciate any help with this problem. Thank you for your time.

Hairline ceiling crack
Noticed a hairline crack in a bedroom ceiling, dad, very elderly, says it has been there for years. Heating not always on even in cold weather. Think polyfilla would do the job and it needs to be done, am I right. Thanks. Podge
