As part of an extension, we had an archway between the living room and dining room walled off with a stud wall.
When the plaster dried there was a vertical crack and the builders have subsequently filled and reskimmed (x2) and most recently they have been back and ripped out the plasterboard and placed it running horizontally and I have never seen so many screws.
It's now been re skimmed and there is now a vertical stepped crack in it.
The original wood timber work was done back in Feb so I don't think it's the timber drying out with the heating.
The builders have been great and have come back repeatedly to try and sort it. I was wondering whether there was a bit of movement in the floor underneath but the most recent reboarding deliberately left a gap behind the skirting between the boards and the floor and the boards were properly bonded and that webbing tape applied...
We're all at a loss to explain it.
There is a tiny unnoticeable vertical crack on the other (extension) side of the wall.
We have no other cracks and this is def not structural. Just annoying as I want a decent cosmetic result.
Has anyone got any suggestions (beyond lining paper......)
I'll attach a photo of the original crack and one of the crack now.....
