Hairline Cracks in Dot and Dab

Hi Everyone

I was hoping for some advice. I live in a Victorian semi and recently had the hallway replastered.

It was taken back to brick, dot and dabbed then plastered.

The plaster has been left bare as we're waiting on some more work to be carried out before we decorate.

Its about a month since they finished and we now have vertical cracks appearing that look like they marry up with where the plasterboards meet.

Is this to be expected with dot and dab? If so, any recommendations for products to fill the cracks?

Definitely not to be “expected”.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. In that case, should I be speaking to the people that carried out the work?
