hi , hope someone could give a little advice.. ive noticed a vertical crack in my garage wall (breeze block) running from the floor to ceiling internally,no cracks appear on the outside facing bricks. also have a hairline crack in floor tiles in the kitchen area approx 1m long. hairline cracks above internal door openings and 1 door frame seems to have moved out of line causing the door not to close.again another external hairline crack running from the corner of a first floor window to the roof showing in the render ...i know what im thinking could anyone soften the blow before i get someone out about it all. the house is 9 years old and have noticed this over the past few months. many thanks thanks for the info you have given, i had a guy around from the nhbc and he said it was only thermal cracking, my concern is that im in the last year of the nhbc insurance and im being fobbed off. none of my neighbours have cracking of any sort and cant help but think its more, or just the start of subsidence. what course of action would be best, inform home insurance and get them to check it out , get a builder around or patch it up and sell asap as i have the nhbc saying its thermal cracking.
