We built a new house and it was finished plastered last September. Downstairs is sand and cement and upstairs is the really smooth stuff. A few cracks appeared in a the ceiling etc but nothing major.
We have paintined (3/4 coats) at this stage and all was fine.
THEN we turned on the heating - an issue arose as it turns out the thermostats (we think) are not working so when I went there last week - the house was roasting and the EVERY wall is COVERED in thousands of hairline cracks!!
We have now turned off the heating until the the thermostats are fixed but are wondering - how do we resolve the cracks - especially the ones on the sand and cement???
Any ideas would be brilliant!
Thanks
