    Ceiling cracks updated post

    Thank you to everyone for your responses it's very much appreciated just for context the ceilings up stairs after solar went in the loft.... have said they will fill them with filler but won't guarantee that it won't shrink or crack again which Is no good I my opinion as I could be in the same position again in 6/12 months. Can these be repaired using filler or do they need repairing with full re-skim as I won't be papering them there going to be painted. I'm seeking advice as I have spoken to a couple of local plasterers who have said filler is a quick short term fix (bodge job that looks ok) but within a short period of time it will perish and crack again. They also said a proper fix would be rake out fill sand and tape then a full re-skim. Just looking for professional opinion Thanks in advance

    rotavate a garden question

    I had a gardener come give me a quote to clear the weeds in an area of my garden where there is very little grass, he said he would strim it, rotavate it and then rake it to make it a bit more level. I thought good idea and I could probably even do that myself. However worried about the rotavator part as online it says it cuts up weeds and spreads them everywhere making it sound like it will be a nightmare in the future. should I really be concerned about the weed issue going forward.
