Re: Cornices 9Sep 06, 2010 8:08 pm While we are on gaps, does anyone know if there is a RTU product (ready to use) to fill small indentations in timberwork (such as architraves etc). I know there are powder-type products that you could mix, but is there anything that you can just squeeze out of a tube ? My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Cornices 10Sep 22, 2010 10:36 am the builder came down for a inspection and said the gaps have appeared due to excessive rains and clay soil, if I understood him correctly he said the weight of the rain water falling on the roof is the cause of all this problems and the clay soil . they have made a report and have agreed to fix the gaps, so now have to wait for their repair guys to call & fix a date.

If the house is moving that much to cause a 5mm gap after 12 months then I would be contacting the engineering company that designed your slab and ask for their opinion. You should have a copy of the engineering drawings etc as part of your building permit approved drawings so you will be able to track down who they are. The reality is that the cornice was probably just not stuck on properly. To check yourself if the house really is moving around that much then have a look at the margins around your internal doors when they are shut. If they are starting to bind and the margin (gap) accross the top between the door and the jamb (frame) is not paralel then the house probably is moving. Definitely one to monitor.
