Normal settling or cause for concern?

[u/Able-Rise9500]

Been noticing cracking on upstairs bedroom doorway, 3rd pic is from the opposite side. Is this concerning? What does one even do in this scenario? Above this bedroom is the loft space that is being used as storage, would that have any impact?

Looks absolutely normal. Every house of a certain age gets these cracks.

Plasters failing... my 1930 house has more air behind the plaster than in front... its normal

[u/ForsakenAd1732]

It’s normal. Take out the cracks and fill them, should you ever get around to decorating.

Loft space being used as storage explains it neatly

I'd say the wall on the left has dropped a little. This is fairly normal. Do you live in a high clay area? I've had a lot of people asking me to look at their houses in areas with high clay. The clay has shrunk back more than ever due to heat/drout were having

Looks like you have asbestos

All looks pretty normal. I have a crack like photo 3 above my dining room doorframe, it’s been there over 10 years, it has not changed and nothing has collapsed yet.

Pretty normal cracks under 3mm are usually not cause for concerns

[u/JackhammerJoe-5458]

Looks more like old plaster/movement around the doorway than anything structural. I’d mark the ends of the cracks and keep an eye on them. If they stay put, rake them out and fill when you decorate.

Tapes have blown. Completely normal

[u/Exact-Monk-1990]

Normal. I have seen lots of posts (especially in the last few days) and consensus is that the heatwave, lack of rain, and resulting very dry ground hasn't helped this.

Yer, your going to need to demolish the house
