    Hi I just noticed cracks in the door jamb in one of my spare bedrooms.

    The house is about 4/5 years old.... Could this be just the woods drying out our something more serious?

    The house is due to get painted in the coming weeks so I was just going to fill with wood fleet and repaint

    The cracks seem to be a result of the wood from close to the centre of a tree being used to make the frame, when a tree is cut in a sawmill it's best practice not to use the wood from the centre for anything other than firewood as it always splits, if the frame is properly fixed it should be ok so just fill and paint
