Loud popping and banging sounds from ceiling
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.15 PM
Over the past year I keep hearing loud popping and banging sounds from my roof and ceiling. I bought a bungalow with loft conversion last year and had both a window replaced and a disused kitchen chimney stack removed. The builder knocked down one of four support pillars and didn't add a ridge tree to support the tiles. Brought in another company who replaced the missing and a leaning pillar and added the missing ridge tree. But I'm still hearing the sounds. Usually hear a loud one when it's warm but smaller pops seem to be at random times. And idea what I'm missing or needs doing? Thanks for response; The loft conversion was done 10 years ago and has velux windows. No flat roof or fibre glass. The noises are usually in the morning, usually around 10:30-11:30 and in the evenings but can't confirm the times. Some cracks have appeared in the plasterboard walls at the joins. Is this a symptom of a bigger problem?
