WHY CRACKS HAPPEN

Understanding what causes cracks in your Norfolk home

Cracked plaster doesn't always mean a serious problem. Knowing the common causes helps you decide what needs attention and what's just normal settling.

01

Home settlement

Newer homes often settle over time, causing minor hairline cracks as materials adjust to Norfolk's climate.

02

Temperature shifts

Rapid changes in temperature cause plaster to expand and contract, leading to minor surface cracking over time.

03

High moisture levels

Damp Norfolk winters can affect plaster, especially in older properties without modern insulation or damp proofing.

04

Structural movement

Larger, uneven cracks in corners or above door frames may indicate deeper foundation movement beneath the plaster.

05

Poor original finish

Inconsistent plaster thickness or poor bonding during initial application can cause delamination and cracking years later.

HOW WE FIX IT

Not all cracks need to be cut out

Most plaster cracks are surface issues. We assess each one properly and only open up the wall when it's actually necessary.

01

Careful inspection first

We check the crack type, depth, and wall movement before deciding on a repair method.

02

Surface repair for hairline cracks

Scrim tape and a modern flexible filler — strong enough to stop it coming back.

03

Cut back and re-plaster for deep cracks

Where the plaster has blown, we cut back to solid edges and apply fresh coats.

04

Full sand and blend finish

Once dry, we sand flush and match the texture so you can't spot where the crack was.

05

Paint-ready or painted on request

We leave the repair primed and ready, or finish it in your existing wall colour.

We take the time to do the job right. No cutting corners, no surprise costs, and a finish that lasts for years.

Another contractor botched the plaster in our sitting room. Norfolk Plaster sorted it out properly and matched the paint perfectly. Looks like it was never touched.
