Cracks in bedroom ceiling
Hi all, My mums bedroom ceiling has large cracks approx 2-3mm wide and over 30cm long in the middle of the ceiling (near light fitting). The ceiling looks slightly bowed and when pushing near the cracks the ceiling is moving. She has previously tried filling it and crack came back. I was going to try and fill it again with easifill, but with the ceiling slightly moving when pushed I'm concerned it will be a bigger job. Does anyone have any advice please? It's a 1930s ex council house with damp issues in past

Plaster has hairline cracks
I have recently got my walls skimmed. After a day I noticed hairline cracks like you get when a window is cracked. Plasterer says it’s fine and happened due to the hot weather outside. He says it’s fine to paint after whitewashing the walls. Should I stop him from painting as I’m not sure if this is normal to have those cracks. I don’t want the cracks to reappear after painting as it’s a waste of my paint and time. Please help me?
