    Hairline ceiling crack

    Noticed a hairline crack in a bedroom ceiling, dad, very elderly, says it has been there for years. Heating not always on even in cold weather. Think polyfilla would do the job and it needs to be done, am I right. Thanks. Podge

    Artex ceiling crack

    Hi, i noticed a crack in my artex ceiling.. I used the ladder to see if the crack moved when I pushed it and it did, a little. It's not a very long crack but I'm just wondering how i can fix it as i want to sell the house and just trying to sort out these cosmetic issues. You could say it's a hairline crack.
