hi all,
I seem to have a bit of work ahead of me in the form of cracks in the plasterbaord. Newish dormer house, 5 years old. The upstairs was done in a hurrry before we bourght it 3years ago. The cracks are mainly at the joints where the stud wall meets the ceiling. It also seems to be badly taped. One of these cracks is about 3mm wide and theres no evidense of joint tape or mesh.

What i would like some advice on is wether or not this is something I can tackle having never done plastering before. Or would I be better off getting someone in to do it?

Any adivce welcome

Dave
