Last year we noticed some cracks in our house, mostly on the extension (done about 15 years ago before we lived here). There was quite a big one going down the outside where the extension and house joined, and some internal ones like the pictures. I had a total panic about subsidence, we had a local builder out (with really good local reputation, my family has used him loads too) who told us it was due to needing something fitting to cope with the expansion, which made sense as it’s a south facing wall that’s very exposed to sun. He said to just polyfiller in the cracks inside.
Anyway. The outside is fine, the expansion thing and rerendering seems to have worked, but the cracks inside are back this summer, I think one has actually got the tiniest bit bigger too. Pictures attached (one looks much worse than it is as I repainted round it with the wrong colour!).
Should we just redo the polyfiller or does this need a second opinion? Has anyone had anything like this?
