Bathroom ceiling crack

Anonymous user 1 March 2024 - 3.00 PM

Hi, there's a crack in my bathroom ceiling...I first noticed it around 3/4 years ago. It goes from my bathroom pull light to the ceiling light and is gradually extending past there. It also goes down to the bathroom door (both sides) and extends the short distance on the landing to my loft hatch. A builder looked at it a couple of years ago, ( just from below) and reassured me it wasn't subsidence or anything serious. He recommended a painter come in, make the crack larger, and fill it in, and paint over it. This was done, but gradually the crack showed through again. And is creeping it's way towards the end of my bathroom (adjoining wall in my semi-detached house!). Anyone have any ideas please what may be causing this, and what trade best to have come in to look at it and hopefully repair it. TIA
