Should you worry about cracks in your St Helens home's plaster?

Most plaster cracks in St Helens homes are the result of normal building settlement or seasonal expansion and contraction — these are cosmetic and straightforward to repair. Wider cracks (over 5mm), diagonal cracks from window or door corners, or cracks that keep returning after repair can indicate structural movement and should be assessed by a structural engineer alongside your plasterer. If the plaster sounds hollow when tapped, it may have "blown" and need full removal and replastering. Post your job on Quote2 and a local St Helens plasterer will advise on the best approach.
