I noticed when we first started moving in that one wall appeared to have a bodge-load of filler all the way up, and now I see why.
The upper floor, gable-end of the house has 2 rooms, separated by a partition.
One room has coving, and that's cracked all the way along underneath
The other room doesn't have coving, but is again cracked the entire way along.
The partition wall is also cracked from the floor to ceiling, on both sides.
Its really difficult to tell downstairs, as the kitchen has been extended, so that external wall is no longer there. There is a similar crack in cloakroom downstairs, but not in the w/c next to it.
To that side of the house is a small field, 30 yards wide, then a road. That field always seems to be sodden.
House built about 1970
I've checked my insurance, and it seems we are covered for subsidence, so I guess ultimately, we'll not be too far out of pocket - and we haven't decorated that part of the house yet, so nothing really lost there either.
Anyone any thoughts on what the problem might be?
