Just one of those things, nothing a little bit of filler wont solve.
Ive seen how brittle plaster is from a skim when i was trimming the bottom of the walls away to leave a bigger gap to the floor as the render and skim was too low, i would be frightened of cracking the plaster even more than the cracks are by doing anything on the main surface as it could spider all over the place.
Would using backing paper be an option when i get it decorated, i wanted painted walls. Would you see any of the joins if a decorator used backing paper than painted over the top ?
I'm considering all options as i don't want to paint it and more cracks appear, a few have appeared already and you would thing because a few have a appeared already then more may appear once painted.
