Merry fecking Christmas.
Could this be subsidence? Cracks have got worse recently
Thanks
I would be concerned about that, you need to get someone in for advice, before they get worst.

It could be, but it's not necessarily; it's difficult to tell from just those photos and no context. Where is it in the house, it looks internal? Are the walls brick? Subsidence usually manifests on bits of the house round the perimeter, especially bits that jut out like bay windows. Ideally need a professional to look at it (and preferably not a builder or anyone else who has a vested interest in it being a problem needing a expensive fix, so a building surveyor or similar).

Yes me too (I think they're called 'additions'? Although they were built at the same time as the main house). You might see something like that if the whole addition was moving away from the rest of the house - but I'd expect to see cracks on the external walls of the extension too in that case, not just internal. Can't see if those cracks are just surface (plaster) either, or if they go through to brick. If it was me I'd be stripping them back and having a look. And then probably leaving it half-done for several months

Thanks, yes it is internal from landing into bathroom

Thanks, yes we believe it is
So potentially a badly done/old extension when they put the kitchen and bathroom on?
Thanks!

Was there a kitchen/bathroom extension added relatively recently?
Making a bunch of possibly wrong assumptions, it looks a bit to me like the crack is appearing in line with the inside of the back wall of the main house (rather than the outside of that wall).
As prunus says I'd be having a look at the outside of the house too, around the junction of extension/main house to see if I could spot any evidence of things going there.

Not recently no
Thanks again

Gsv bought too many flowers for the back garden planters so was kind of forced to do the window boxes he'd always wanted to do anyway. The slight problem was that the windows open outwards but then I realised we could always just open the side or upper windows of the bay on the rear occasions we need to open anything.

I approve of this blue colour, given I've just painted my living room something similar!

Sounds like my DIY projects.It wasn't five years, constantly. It was interwoven with work, mental illness and alcoholism. A guarantee for the smooth running of any project!

It does look nice, you must be pleased that it is finished!

Thank you
I am pleased but I have blinds to put up, acoustic panels to build and fit, ventilation ducting to install and move all my stuff in here too. Thereās probably more but thatās the bulk of whatās left.
Superficially though, ITāS FINISHED!!!
I get it. We āfinishedā our renovation in 2019 but weāve been living with splintered chipboard floors in the bedroom since then until we finally got round to sourcing floors in December last year. And itās May and the floors are down but we still have all the upstairs furniture downstairs with narrow walkways between stuff like a hoarderās paradise, while I very slowly make my way through painting the upstairs. One day it may be done and Iāll put some photos in this thread but Iām not expecting that to happen imminentlyā¦It wasn't five years, constantly.

I took only that photo as out of shot was a ton of crap that needed sorting and chucking out.

Nice - tiles are very similar to the ones we're having; though not tiling the whole room.

Currently:
Another week and a half of showering at Pure Gym.
Do you have colours/brand decided?
Yes! That took many, many weeks and the purchase and painting up of 17 tester pots (no exaggeration) plus about twenty of those sticker testers, but we finally got there. Iāve mostly finished the painting now too. The end is in sight, and by āendā Iām not including a bathroom door or any of the carpentry work needed to build a wardrobe, because I expect those to take another five years at least.

Currently ironing on some oak veneer to the edge of some IKEA kallax shelves.
They are nice anyway, with marine ply look edging, only, this is too pale against the solid oak worktop Iām putting on top.
I will then be able to oil the veneer to match the worktop.
Never done this before but seems pretty straightforward.
