Cracks in ceilings

Question

Cracks in ceilings after workmen in attic.
Can these be repaired using filler or do the need repairing the full re-skim as I won't be pampering them there going to be painted.
Thanks in advance

Hi the cracks will have to be dug out filled touched up with at least 1 possibly 2 full coats applied over the top it depends on how surreal they are

Chris · Answer

The ceiling needs either taping and skimming or overboarding and skimming

Aaron · Answer

Hi, generally they crack along where the boards join. In which case I would recommend screwing either side of the crack to secure the board and scrim them at the very least. I would recommend a re-skim but depends on the length etc of the crack

Adam · Answer

Dig out with screwdriver not to deep use a flexible filler or chauk  fill crack leave to dry fill again if needed let dry then fine sandpaper lightly then paint if cracks are bad would need reskim but thats all about your budget.etc.

All depends from previous works.
Could be badly boarded or screwed.
It may work but depends on several factors really
